Brunswick-Lüneburg-Celle. Christian Ludwig 4 Taler 1664-LW MS62 NGC, Clausthal mint, KM223.5, Dav-LS187, Preussag Collection-156, Welter-1495. 115.13gm. Lippold Weber as mintmaster. With value stamp "4" on reverse. A highly attractive representative from the 1664 multiple series, displaying a conditional state wholly outside the bounds of what might be considered typical for this anything but typical issue. Marvelously toned in a soft, silvery patina that lies with balanced grace over the fields, the surfaces express sleek, underlying luster and the devices have been rendered with an impressive strike, leaving highpoint detail crisp and bold in appearance. The leaping horse design is a virtual icon of the Brunswick-Lüneburg-Celle series, but rarely is this motif displayed in such an inspiring combination of expansive size and top-tier preservation. We note that out of only three certified by NGC to date, this offering is the sole example recognized in Mint State.
