I've posted this so many times I'm afraid I might wear it out.

 

Wow thats a beauty

 

Ive always like this coin, love the eagle.

 

You have quite a collection, doppeltaler All of them are lovely.

I share your liking for these massive silver coins. Their sheer size was the fist thing that attracted me many years ago when I started collecting.
Since then, my tastes have diverted a little, but still have about 15 of them in my collection. I want to still add an Anhalt-Köthen or Waldeck-Pyrmont Doppeltaler to my collection someday.

Here are some of mine - please excuse my very poor pictures.

What's a doppeltaler?

 

Double Thaler/Taler

 

Magnificent coins Zohar444 You have to ask, why in God's name, can we not produce such fantastic coin designs today The quality of the engravers/ mint masters/ die designers who worked for the Holy Roman Emperors were impeccablely skilled craftsmen. Do you have any Triple/Quadruple talers? The biggest I have seen is a AR 10 Taler.

Here is another from my meagre collection....
AR doppelvereinstaler 1840 Berlin Mint
Heinrich Herzog zu Anhalt-Kothen

 

wow Zohar444 your coins are truly amazing. the engraving on these coins are superb. thanks for the eye candy.

 

Thanks a lot -

Panzerman - Here is a Rudolph II 3 Taler. Also another cool and scarce St. George Medallic 2 Taler (double talers are not to be found)

 

This is so true. Zohar's thalers are first class specimens.

 

I like this one as it seems using triple thick flans with the same die. Others i have seen have large diameters making me hard to consider them as coins.
