Even with a large amount of uncirculated coins of this type of the so-called "Sterbetaler" or "Death Thaler" it is still hard to find it in proof site and especially in high-grade proof! Popular and highly collectible thaler of Friedrich Wilhelm IV of Prussia this particular coin has highly reflective fields with only single hairlines and contact marks, sharp matte strike of the portrait and touch of champagne toning more prominent on reverse. Amazing appearance coin! Great investment item as well!
