Lot 308
Lot 30308 > Eichstätt - Bishopric. Sede Vacante Taler 1781-KR/OE MS63 PCGS, Nürnberg mint, KM90, Dav-2210. A magnificent choice example of this ever-popular type, argent surfaces alive with hints of aged color in the fields, the devices boldly rendered, each tiny detail of the breathtaking design crisp and palpable to the naked eye. The artistic merit of this piece is self-evident, portraying a three-quarter angle bird's-eye view of the city of Eichstätt, a rare perspective for any coin or medal to entertain and one that serves to provide a complete three-dimensional depiction as opposed to the more common flat two-dimensionality of other "City View" issues. A difficult and impressive type that is always sure to draw much attention from bidders.
