GERMANY. Brunswick-Luneburg. Luneburg. Taler, 1547. Free City. PCGS EF-40 Gold Shield.
Dav-9419; MB-65. The popular "man in the moon" type, this crown features a play upon the city's name. The Latin for "moon" is "luna," hence the allusion to the moon for Luneburg's emblem on this piece. Some light planchet stress marks are noted around the moon face, but this example otherwise features only light handling and retains great detail and expressiveness.
Estimate: $1250.00- $1750.00
