Austria -- Schlick. Taler, 1645. Dav-3408; KM-9. Heinrich IV, 1612-1650. Madonna and child with St. Anne with shield below. Reverse: Crowned, double-headed eagle. Toned. NGC graded AU-58.
This coin is from the very same Bohemian estate that helped to initiate and propagate the thaler "revolution" throughout Europe 125 years earlier. While the Schlicks were relative nobodies in the political sense, especially when compared to the power and prestige of their neighbor, the Elector of Saxony, their mines proved the richer and more enduring compared to anything in Saxony.
Estimated Value $1,000 - 1,250.
