An excellent item - both in terms of beauty and provenance.
A beautifully preserved thaler of King Stanislaw August coming from the famous collection of Emeryk Hutten-Czapski. With his ownership punch placed under the royal portrait.
The Poniatowski thalers of the 1770s are low-volume issues, which is also confirmed by the number of their known stamp varieties. The main difference in the 1777 is the end of the royal titulary. The present one is of the LITH variety.
We consulted the coin with the director of the Hutten-Czapski Museum in Cracow. He confirms that it is a doublet excluded from the collection still held by Emeric, where he left another, equally beautiful piece. As you can see, the availability of this king's beautiful coins, less than a century after his reign, was quite different than today....
