PCGS SP-63. Rich red-brown surfaces, with great lustrous brilliance in the fields. One of the rarest and most elusive types in the series, and one with immense interest due to its crossover Judaica appeal. From what is today eastern Netherlands and western Germany, the Wieners were a Jewish family of exceptional medalists, especially known for numerous numismatic works throughout the Kingdom of Belgium. Eldest brother Jacob (Jacques), along with younger brothers Leopold and Charles, created some of the finest works of medallic art of the 19th century, and all are particularly noted for their work in the highly detailed and intricate work of architectural renderings.
