Brunswick-Lüneburg-Celle. Friedrich V 5 Taler 1647-LW AU58 NGC, Clausthal mint, KM181, Dav-LS133, Knyphausen-2056, Elbeshausen Collection-Unl., Preussag Collection-125, Welter-1397. 144.77gm. Lippold Weber as mintmaster. With value stamp "5" on reverse. Struck to celebrate the imminent end of the Thirty Years' War. A commanding coin worthy of examination in hand, its beauty easily surpassing the upper bounds of its technical grade. Aged cabinet patina bathes both sides of the planchet in a shimmering shade of battleship gray. Undeniably of museum quality, the strike is perfectly centered on the obverse and reverse alike, with no trace of a die shift to blur the details--a typical feature on the few known examples of this type. A fitting canvas for this celebratory subject matter--two mineworkers embracing in the foreground--and among one of the nicest representatives extent. Likely to outpace the ex. Garrett specimen, with the Preussag example selling for the equivalent of $52,510 when offered at auction in 2015.
