Very rare posthumous 1/2 thaler of the last male descendant of the entire Piast dynasty.
Minted to commemorate the death of Georg Wilhelm.
Extremely rare coin in such excellent condition.
Natural toning comming from the edge that gives the coin extraordinary presence.
1/2 thaler missing from many advanced Silesian mint collections.
Highly recommended!
Obverse: bust of the prince facing right, with long hair falling over his armor
