1859 Frankfurt commem. Taler

I've been looking for this Taler in high grade with nice toning. It's now in my collection. Mintage : 20,000

This Taler commemorates  Johann Christoph Friedrich von Schiller (10 November 1759  – 9 May 1805). He was a  poet, philosopher, historian, and playwright. During the last seventeen years of his life (1788–1805), Schiller struck up a productive, if complicated, friendship with already famous and influential Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. They frequently discussed issues concerning aesthetics, and Schiller encouraged Goethe to finish works he left as sketches. This relationship and these discussions led to a period now referred to as Weimar Classicism. They also worked together on Die Xenien, a collection of short satirical poems in which both Schiller and Goethe challenge opponents to their philosophical vision.

Your the one that got me hooked on Toned coins.     I use to only look for coins with no toning or very little toning.

Another awesome coin as usual 'regandon'. The bluish tint is a nice bonus too. Thanks for posting this.
