Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel. Friedrich Ulrich 5 Taler 1620 MS61 NGC, Zellerfeld mint, KM227, Dav-LS45, Duve-6 (RR), Knyphausen-211, Preussag Collection-27, Welter-1015. 144.63gm. Hans Laffers as mintmaster. With value stamp "5" on reverse. Obv. Duke Friedrich Ulrich riding hose to right. Rev. Helmeted coat of arms, with date above in Roman numerals and a value below near the reverse edge at 6 o'clock. An expansive and alluringly toned quintuple taler depicting the Duke Friedrich Ulrich on horseback with an intricately crafted coat of arms design to the reverse. Sharp highpoint motifs confirm the Mint State condition recognized by NGC, with a soft steel patina uniformly laid upon the surfaces yielding a distinctive eye appeal for a coin of over 400 years in age. Decidedly scarce at this level of preservation, the offering is one of only three examples seen by NGC to date and the only such specimen deemed uncirculated.
Ex. UBS Gold & Numismatics Auction 55 (September 2002, Lot 2357)
