Rare vintage.
Variety with the initials IGS on the reverse of Johan Georg Schomburg mintmaster of the Dresden Mint from 1716 to 1734, and with the mint mark hook under the mintmaster initials.
A rare date for a thaler of Augustus II the Strong. A beautiful and highly representative example featuring an impressive portrait of the ruler, exceptionally well-preserved details and distinct mint lustre – a coin of outstanding overall appearance.
