Additions to my Thaler collection

My newest Thaler coins.

1. Schwarzeburg 1 Thaler 1859, C 70 – Price: $102

2. Waldeck und Pyrmont 1 Thaler 1859, C 88 – Price: $146

3. Wurttemberg 1 Thaler 1863, KM 601 – Price: $102


All three thalers are Vereinsthalers. The Vereinsthaler was introduced in 1857, and in use in most of the german states, including Austria. Austria stopped issuing the Vereinsthaler in 1867. The other german states stopped issuing Vereinsthalers in 1873, when the newly formed German empire introduced the Goldmark. The Vereinsthaler coins continued however to circulate in the German empire at a value of 3 Mark until 1908, when it was replaced by a 3 Mark coin.

It contains 16 2/3 grams of silver.

I like them. The reverse on all of them are nice. :thumb:

 

I especially like the reverse of the Wurttemberg thaler. Unfortunately the scans doesn't give the right impression of the coins.

 

Have to agree three absolutly lovely coins, thanks for sharing them with us :bow:

 

Two new german thalers to day:

Bavaria: 1 Thaler 1770 KM 234.2 - $15

Schleswig-Holstein: 1 Daler Specie (60 Schilling) 1794 C 9 - $260

Painfully obvious to anyone, the Bavaria Thaler has taken a severe beating. But I got it cheap.

 

Very nice coins.

 

Congrats !
I LOVE THALERS, but those from Renaissance and Baroque the most!
Some say a need for large coin and more pleasure, finished Middle age Roman Church ruling, going further with this crazy thought, that Bohemian mint master was more powerful then POPE..

 

Nice Kvarterto, that Waldeck Taler looks very nice. I also appreciate the state Talers, and the Doppeltalers of the 19th century.

If you are keen on those coins, you may want to get a specialized catalogue. For example "Die Muenzen des 19. Jahrhunderts bis zur Reichsgruendung" by Bernd Stutzmann.
It covers all of the German state coinage (w/o gold issues) from 1800-1873. Published by Money Trend Verlag, Wien, Austria.

nice

 

Thaler catch of the day:

Sweden: 1 Riksdaler 1776 KM 514
- Weight: 29, 2 grams
- Metal: silver
- Portrait: Gustav III
- Price: $275

Gustav III was king of Sweden from 1771 until he was assassinated in 1792. The assassination happened during a masquerade (Verdis opera Un ballo in maschera is loosely based on this incident). Actually the assassination was sort of a failure. The King died after two weeks, not from the wound it self, but from an infection in the wound.

 

Especially the Doppeltalers are very nice coins!

Thank you for the tip. Just the type of catalogue I´m in need of.

 

Very Nice collections
They don't make 'em like that anymore
