<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Loong Siew, post: 3036027, member: 75799&quot;]Yours a fantastic Daalder as well. The later issues are more refined compared to the first Joachimsthal issues. Weak presses and crude planchets are pretty common back then. My piece is considered XF although with modern standards it would be VF. Although earlier larger silvers issued by Sigismund of Tirol exists, they were heavier arp in 31g +. The reason the Joachimsthal became the first Thaler was because their weight and dimensions at approx 27-28g set the standard for silver crowns across Europe and eventually the new world notwithstanding&nbsp; they wete also way more popular.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
