Did you know the Taler (or Thaler) is considered the world’s first true “silver dollar”? It set the standard for large silver coinage, later influencing the Spanish 8 Reales that dominated global commerce and eventually the U.S. Silver Dollar beginning in 1794.
This stunning Austrian Taler from the 16th century showcases rich color and has been graded MS63, placing it just below the finest known example at MS65. A coin of this caliber and preservation represents both history and investment opportunity.
