Beautiful 1828 horse

This post will be quick and short. The past week I have acquired a couple new coins to add to my horse-themed topical set. The one that I have been waiting for most to arrive in hand came today. It was everything I thought it would be, and I'm happy to add it to my set.

The coin is an 1828 16 Gute Groschen, a part of the German States issues for Hannover. It has exceptional luster, some reverse toning, and great eye appeal. I just love the detail in the mane and tail of the horse, and it is the third coin in my set with a rendition of the Saxon Steed. Some form of this design has been used on the coinage of the Saxon States of Germany as far back as the 1600s. Below is a zoomed in view of the horse image, and as always I'll post a large compilation photo on the Chat Boards.

I hope everyone has a great weekend.

Cheers!
