The 1754 Silver HALF Taler of Bavaria features Maximillian III Joseph, known for his cultural contributions, including supporting Mozart. Slightly larger than a U.S. Half Dollar, this Extremely Fine coin is rare and well-preserved. The reverse depicts Mary with Baby Jesus. Maximilian, who died in 1777, believed a clock striking 77 times was an omen of his demise after contracting an unidentifiable strain of smallpox, leaving no heir. This exceptional Bavarian coin offers significant value for collectors.
