Francis II (1792–1835)

1815-C. Austria. Holy Roman Emperor Francis II (1804-1835) Thaler. Karlburg Mint. DAV-6. KM-2161. Full mint brilliance with exceptionally blemish-free surfaces - no adjustment marks or flan flaws. Rarely seen in this elevated designation. NGC MS-64.

1828-A. Lower Austria. Holy Roman Emperor Francis II (1804-1835) Taler. Vienna mint. DAV-9. KM-2163, Herinek-347. The finest of just six seen in the NGC census, this staggering GEM provides deep gray surfaces with some enchanting hints of olive and delightful brilliance throughout. NGC MS-65.

1829-A. Lower Austria. Holy Roman Emperor Francis II (1804-1835) Taler. Vienna mint. DAV-9. KM-2163, Herinek-347. Simply a gorgeous specimen, the pristine nature of both faces clearly suggesting that the offering has been lovingly cared for since not long after it left the mint. Hardly admitting a stray mark, the reverse is so fresh as to make the viewer forget he is looking at a piece struck nearly two centuries ago. NGC MS-66.
