GERMANY. Brunswick-Luneburg-Calenberg-Hannover. Taler, 1756-IBH. Zellerfeld Mint. George II. NGC MS-63.
Dav-2100; KM-294. Type struck for the "Goodness of the Lord" mine. A Taler issue that immediately captivates with its intricate design, depicting a mining scene with rays from the heavens shining down upon the workers. This example, preserved as nice as we've seen, showcases a strike that is bold and sharp, resulting in subtle reflective properties in the fields. Old cabinet tone only adds to this piece's already considerable charm, with a melange of colors traversing both sides, strengthening ever so slightly along portions of the rims. Altogether, a magnificent coin, certain to add depth to any collection it enters.
