- Issued for the Royal Prussian Asiatic Society The Finest Certified of the Type GERMANY. Prussia. Taler, ND (1751). Cleve Mint. Friedrich II the Great (1740-86). NGC MS-64. Dav-2591; v.Schr-1651; Old-368. A RAREand highly coveted issue, briefly struck for the Royal Prussian Asiatic Society, a trading company based in Emden, and showcasing an exquisitely engraved reverse, the central arms being supported by the iconic German wild man on the left with a Chinese man in elaborate clothing on the right. Close inspection of the surfaces confirms the outstanding overall quality, with golden toning accents and virtually no signs of past handling in the satiny field. While very minor, a trace of striking softness is all that likely precluded Gem certification. Estimate: $6,000 - $9,000. Provenance: From the Collection of Dr. James Eustace Bizzell, II. Ex: Millennia Collection; Goldberg sale 46, lot 652. Ex: Irving Goodman Collection.
