Dark patina with full rainbow toning is a signature of this RARE and One Type only Vereinstaler of Ferdinand of Hesse- Homburg (1848-1866). Low mintage and rare on auctions in MS condition coin. This one has spectacular appearance with touch of bluish hues on obverse and full golden scale on reverse. Rare and great collectible coin!
