    I just added another Oexlein piece. His works are growing in to some of my favorite pieces I really like the classic reverse on this one.

    Obverse: On his election as Roman king. Laureate bust to the right
    Reverse: Apollo in the sun chariot on clouds to the left.

    Montenuovo collection 1758, Julius collection 1591, J. u. F. 772, Förschner 297

    I haven't added anything by Oexlein in quite a while. It's not for lack of trying. So many of his pieces just don't show up in the US and when they do they are kind of pricey. Fortunately, I came to an agreement with a dealer from Germany for this piece. Sellers photo and description.

    I recently picked up a new sede vacante medal from Bamberg and I just realized it is also a J.L. Oexlein. Classified as Zepernick 67 / Heller 371.
