A beautiful and at the same time rare year of the thaler of Augustus II the Strong.
Only two auction appearances recorded on OneBid.
Variety with the initials ILH of Johann Lorenz Holland, mint master of the Dresden Mint in the years 1698–1716, and with a hook beneath the date.
A coin of excellent visual appeal, where an age-old patina harmonizes with distinct mint lustre.
A thaler from an old collection, preserved together with its original owner’s envelope.
A true cabinet piece in the fullest sense of the word. Beautiful!
Obverse: bust right

Reverse: two coats of arms, between them the date and initials ILH, hook below
