Wow, that's a very cool OP-coin, Zohar (congrats)

Man, today's parents don't come up with cool handles like they did back in the good ol' days, eh?

=> yup, I'm gonna name my next kid "stevex6 the Hogmouth"

... again, congrats on scoring that great Taler (it's very cool)

This is my one and only Taler example "so far" ...

Anhalt-Bernburg, Alexius Friedrich Christian, AR 1/3 Taler



... sadly, it's not an MS65 like your OP-winner

 

amazing coin. envy is the word.

 

Very cool!! I'm not much of a world coin collector, but this one is very nice..

 

One of those "I wish" coins, great addition, Z.

 

Shoot, I'd pursue it based on the guy's name alone...

"Leopold The Hogmouth"

@stevex6, yeah, they sure don't name 'em like that anymore! ;-)

 

The eagle looks like he saw something he didn't like. Haha.

The intricate detail is awesome.
