I was saving money for few months getting ready for the CICF show. I bought 3 coins after much tracking and resisting the urge to buy others. Thought id share with everyone. 1) Saxony 1711 Thaler. I love the horse and the rider as well as the crowns on the reverse. 2) Malta 30 Tari and 15 tari. I always wanted to get Maltese crowns and finally here i am. 15 tari seems to be rare and i love the 30 tari and seems to be a proper large silver crown. Next in the wish list are Polish thalers and south African 5 schillings .
I agree with Zohar. Quality Malta crowns are quite scarce. Nice acquisition! I have one 30 Tari of Emmanuel Pinto, but it's not as well preserved as your example.
