Brunswick-Lüneburg-Calenberg. Ernst August 3 Taler 1681-RB AU55 NGC, Zellerfeld mint, KM284, Dav-LS238, Preussag Collection-210, Welter-1923. 81.45gm. Rudolf Bornemann as mintmaster. With value stamp "3" on reverse. Delightfully preserved, displaying a potent combination of clear detailing and underlying luster. The crowning touch to this stellar specimen lies in its vibrant patina, evenly blending lilac iridescence with metallic coloration to complete its striking visual impact. Barely a trace of rub is apparent to the higher points of the designs, which remain impressively sharp in all but isolated areas of the landscape and leaping horse motif. Light traces of doubling are noted throughout, amidst a sea of backlit gloss. A wholly impressive multiple taler that, outside a Mint State designation, could hardly be enhanced.
Ex. Künker Auction 77 (September 2002, Lot 2140)
