This Mining Taler of Anhalt-Bernburg definitely deserves PL tier for its frosty design and mirrored fields. Very popular coin - vereinsthaler of Alexander Carl of Anhalt-Bernburg (1834-1863) with iconic bear walking on the wall. Graded as MS 62 by NGC possibly due to some excessive hairlines in the fields. Great collectible find either way!
