Added to the Austrian noble house part of the collection. These were minted as part of private minting rights granted by the emperor to certain noble houses. Davenport has a small booklet covering these. Mostly low mintage, amounting to hundreds per issue. I was fortunate to pickup the taler to complete the Paar set (had the 1/2 Taler). 1794 Paar. Austria. Johann (1744 - 1812) Taler. Vienna Mint. DAV-1194. Mintage of 250. PCGS MS-63. 1794 Paar. Austria. Johann (1744 - 1812) Half Convention Taler. Vienna Mint. Holzmair 72. Mont. 2951. Very scarce piece in any grade. Seems like a very early strike with a fabulous reverse. Mintage of 400. NGC MS-63.
