<p>[QUOTE=&quot;regandon, post: 1702979, member: 17232&quot;]The denominations are 1/4Taler, 1/3Taler, 1/2Taler, 2/3Taler (also known as a Gulden) and then Taler. During the time period of the coin you posted, there were Talers in larger denomination of 4T, 6T, 8T and these larger denomination Talers were up to 100mm in size. There are also smaller denominations like 1/48Taler, 1/24Taler and 1/6Taler. The coin you have posted is a very sought after design, but I have not researched the background on the design, so sorry I can not help you out on the history part. The 1/4T, 1/2T and 2/3Taler&#039;s are very hard to find in mint state grades, as they were more commonly used for day to day commerce than the larger and heavier full denomination Talers. That is why you can find more Talers in high grade than the 1/4, 1/2 and 2/3Talers. It is always nice to see one like yours that has no file adjustment marks. I thank you for posting your coin, as it now puts me in high gear to start looking for one.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
