1762 Regensburg Germany Thaler Silver Coin Franz I & City View Reverse XF++
Description: A beautiful extremely fine or much better large silver coin. This is the 1762 Regensburg City State of Germany thaler. The coin depicts the bust of Franz I facing right on the obverse. There is the legend "FRANCISCUS D:G:ROM :IMP: SEMP: AVG." surrounding the bust along the edge. The reverse shows a beautiful city view with the Danube River with a boat. There are churches, a cathedral, bridges, and towers, a rather busy image but very well executed with great details. The reverse has the legend "MONETS REIP.RATISPON." surrounding the image along the edge. There is also the legend "X.ST.EINE. F.G.M./1762/I.C.B." in exergue below the city view in three lines. A great looking coin which we are tempted to call about uncirculated but conservatively it would grade as a good extremely fine or much better. It has some luster and its details are very well preserved with minimum wear. This is a nice coin that would make a great addition to your collection. Please carefully review the photos presented as they are part and parcel of our description.

Condition: I would grade the coin as extremely fine or much better with all the details being very well preserved with minimum wear. The coin still displays some luster and is beautiful. It shows quite a bit of the details of the king's facial features and hair and the legends are well preserved, obvious, and very readable.

The coin has a few scratches and some bag marks but truly nothing to worry about. All in all, a very nice example of this rare coin. Please view photos for additional condition information.
