GERMANY. Brunswick-Luneberg. 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. Quite deeply toned and attractively struck, with great expressiveness to the moon face, though some typical planchet stress marks are noted.
Estimate: $1250 - $1750
