Rare Gabriel Bethlen thaler from the Nagybánya mint from 1629.
Rare variety with rivets on the armor.
Rare coin on the auction market and extremely difficult to obtain in mint condition.
Very deeep mint luster on the reverse, some surface hairliness on the obverse but still very attractive coin.
Seldom seen in any condition but in such a great condition undoubtedly rare. Plenty of charm and appeal.
Transylvania, Gabriel Bethlen (1613-1629), Thaler 1629, Nagybánya mint
