Brunswick-Lüneburg-Celle. Christian Ludwig 5 Taler 1648-HS AU55 NGC, Zellerfeld mint, KM198, Dav-LS144, Knyphausen-Unl., Elbeshausen Collection-Unl., Preussag Collection-Unl., Welter-1472. 144.47gm. Henning Schlüter as mintmaster. Without value stamp. The second largest multiple for this inaugural issue, likely produced on the occasion of Christian Ludwig's inheritance of the territories of Celle. Emitting a light, even distribution of rub across the devices, the Duke's figure atop his horse is laudably free of the softness observed in other regions of the strike, leaving his facial features and even the smaller rivets of his arms appreciably defined. Perhaps only mildly finer than the handful of other examples that have appeared at auction in recent years. Though difficult to ascertain on the basis of photography alone, it is notable that the denomination was altogether missing from Knyphausen, Elbeshausen, and Preussag.
Ex. Künker Auction 77 (September 2002, Lot 2061)
