This is one of my favorite Prussian Taler rev designs. While this coin is not rare, it is becoming hard to find in high grades. Click on pic to make it larger.

Denomination: Thaler (Taler)
The Kingdom of Prussia
Date: 1861
Mint Mark: A
Mint: Berlin
Size: 36mm

Nice, very nice :Beatingheart;

Do I see some slight cameo going on there?

I really like the Coronation Talers :)

Stunning coin 'regandon'. I love the detailing for the profile of the king and queen. Everything that you've posted has been extraordinary. I look forward to seeing more in the near future.

For some reason, that design looks familiar.  ;) Yours is quite stunning, though, given it's prooflike appearance.

I'm surprised it wasn't given the designation, actually. They seem a lot more stringent with world coins than they do with PL Morgans, that's for sure.

You also have a nice one that you won in a contest. You should post a pic of it.

Here it is. It's not the best photo, but it proves the point. I won this over at CH forums. It's a solid AU if you ask me. I really see rubbing only on the coat of Wilhelm.
