Eric P. Newman Collection, Part III // 俳句

描述:: Livonia-Latvia. Kristina of Sweden Taler 1639-HW, Riga mint, KM22, Dav-4589, Ahlstrom-44a, AU53 NGC. An attractive example of this Swedish possession issue with light gray toning and only a few small contact marks on the obverse. Kristina is portrayed in a lace collar, standing and facing left. Very rare grade for the type and a most popular Baltic Taler. Kristina was the daughter of Gustav II Adolf and reigned until 1654 when she abdicated in favor of Karl X Gustav. She rejected her Protestant upbringing and converted to Roman Catholicism, spending most of her final years in study in the Vatican in Rome, where she is buried. Ex: ?Colonel? E.H.R.

描述:: Oscar II Krona 1887-EB,? KM747, SM-70, Proof 65 NGC. A stunning example of this rare low-mintage date (57,998 struck) with meticulously sharp details and full mint brilliance. The surfaces are highly reflective and display an appealing blend of tan and silvery-gray patina.
