GERMANY. Brunswick-Luneburg-Calenberg-Hannover. Taler, 1676. Clausthal Mint. Johann Friedrich I. NGC MS-63.
Dav-6573; KM-149.2. The discipline of Brunswick Talers and their multiples seems endless, some break a barrier style-wise like this beauty and do not entrap themselves among the masses. This is a handsome broad taler boasting fine originality throughout with its iridescent cabinet toning complementing sharp striking. The rich baroque portraiture of the period pairs finely with its charming reverse design; exhibits sharp details with medallic clarity. The Latin reverse legend "Ex Duris Gloria" translates most accurately as "From suffering arises glory." Formerly from the 2016 Cape Coral Collection sale and prior to that the Grundy Collection. A RARE type and a superb piece.
From the Downing Collection.
