1627/6 Bavaria Silver Thaler Madonna & Child PCGS AU58 (D-6073)

Description:

A standout and historically important Bavarian Thaler from the Thirty Years’ War era, featuring the iconic Madonna and Child design.

The obverse shows the enthroned Virgin Mary holding the Christ Child, with the legend “SPES RANTIBVS OMNIBVS IN TE” (Hope of All Who Trust in Thee). The reverse displays the crowned arms of Bavaria with the electors’ titles and the date 1627/6 (overdate clearly visible). Struck under Maximilian I, Duke (and later Elector) of Bavaria, this large silver piece exemplifies the high artistic standards of South German minting during a turbulent period.

Graded PCGS AU58, this example retains excellent detail, attractive original surfaces, and strong eye appeal for the grade. Thalers of this type and preservation are increasingly difficult to find — a true collector’s coin.

Historical Context:

Issued during the early years of the Thirty Years’ War (1618–1648), one of Europe’s most devastating conflicts. Maximilian I was a key Catholic leader and ally of the Habsburgs; his realm became a major power in Southern Germany. The Madonna and Child design symbolized divine protection and hope amid widespread destruction — a powerful message on currency of the time. These large thalers circulated widely in European trade and are prized today for their artistic beauty and historical significance. This coin is a showstopper and will be the pride of any collection.
