German Silver Coin Beaker & Cover, Salzburg Thaler, Sterling 925, 380g

1900 - 1920
Description

A handsome German silver covered beaker (Münzbecher) in the Historismus taste, of slightly tapering form on four ball feet, with a domed pull-off cover. The body and lid are richly worked in repoussé with scrolling foliage and fruit swags framing applied silver coins.

The principal coin reproduces a Salzburg thaler of Johann Ernst von Thun, Prince-Archbishop of Salzburg (reigned 1687–1709) — the legend reads IO·ERNEST·D·G· ARCHIEP·SAL· with the Madonna and Child above the Salzburg arms and the Marian motto SVB TVVM PRÆSIDIVM CONFVGIMVS ("Under your protection we take refuge").

Made in the antiquarian style associated with the Hanau silversmiths, circa 1900–1905. Sterling silver, imported into Britain and assayed at Birmingham: marks to the rim include ·925 (sterling fineness), the triangle-in-oval Birmingham import mark, the date letter "e" (1904/05), and the sponsor's mark "I.S / G".

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Coin beakers, known natively as Munzbecher, originated in Germanic regions during the Renaissance and remained popular through the nineteenth century. These vessels were commissioned to celebrate milestones, heraldry, or regional currency by embedding real silver thalers directly into the body and lid of the silver object.

These vessels are constructed primarily from high-grade silver, such as sterling (925 fineness) or continental 800 silver, combined with authentic historical silver coins. The decorative patterns surrounding the coins are typically raised using repousse and chasing techniques, with components soldered together and supported on cast ball or scroll feet.

Authenticity is verified by inspecting official hallmark stamps indicating silver purity alongside maker or town marks. Genuine period examples will feature original hand-chased relief work and authentic period coinage inset flush with the vessel walls rather than modern reproductions or cast imitations.

A lidded silver beaker functions well as a focal accent on a dark wood sideboard, inside a glass display cabinet, or on a gentlemans library desk. Combining polished silver hollowware with rich textures like leather, timber, and marble creates a sophisticated, layered interior aesthetic.

Preserve the finish by dusting regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth and using specialist silver polish sparingly to prevent residue accumulation around detailed repousse areas. Store in a dry environment with low humidity to minimise oxidisation and tarnishing over time.
