This is a Polish City View Taler. The city of Thorn on fire. The obverse detail is just amazing.

That is some detail there, the ships, especially those going down the river add so much to the event being depicted.

Very interesting as is all of your coins. The obverse image is very interesting showing Thorun ablaze. The detailing is nicely rendered. I have a municipal coin (1/2 Groschen to be exact) from Thorun dating from the 15th century. Nothing as grandeous as yours though. Thanks for sharing.

Regandon,
  That is a very unusual subject to depict on a coin.

Daniel,
  Here's an article about Thorn (or 'Torun' in Polish); http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torun .
