Germany, Electoral Saxony, John George I, thaler piedfort for the 100th anniversary of the Augsburg Confession 1630, Dresden mint.
Silver, 37.27 g, 45.3 mm. Dav. 7606; Clauss-Kahnt 323.
Grade: Near VF, REMOVED FROM A FRAMING, slightly worn but fully legible, toning.
The irregular weight is probably due to the removal of a mount, but it is difficult to assume that this well-preserved specimen could have originally weighed as much as one and a half thalers (43.5 g).
