The larger silver coins of the German states have been popular among collectors since the late 19th century, as they represent a closed area with attractive designs. The fascination with these coins remains strong. This catalog, now in its third edition, serves as an indispensable reference work for these coins. Additionally, it provides a comprehensive listing of the variants and samples for each coin, which is not available elsewhere in such compact form. The inclusion of coins in this catalog was based on their affiliation with the Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation (until 1806) and subsequently with the German Confederation. Therefore, all Austrian half talers, double guilders, talers, and double talers from 1800 until Austria's exit from the German Confederation in 1866/67 are included, but not the Habsburg issues for Hungary and the Italian possessions. The complete illustrations and prices for three grades of preservation ensure the catalog is user-friendly. For many coins, specific auction prices for top pieces from recent years are also provided, allowing one to observe the price trends for exceptional conditions.
