About This Item

Augsburg,, 1643. Silver. Diameter c. 40 mm. Weight c. 18 grams. In a box. Augsburg, 1643. This is a rather charming schraubtaler (screw-thaler) made from an Augsburg silver thaler of Ferdinand III, Holy Roman Emperor. At that time such thalers were popular and precious memorabilia and used as gifts for family occasions. Augsburg was the center for the production of screw-thalers in the 17th century, and these coins were also exported empty. Inside the case on metal-disc recto a hand-painted portrait color miniature of H(an)s Cas(par) Escher (vom Glas, 1625-1696, mayor of Zurich 1691), ancestor of the famous Alfred Escher, founder of Credit Suisse and ETH Zurich. On verso Escher's engr. data and titles.- Nice condition, probably unique in its kind. - Cf. Forster 298.
