GERMANY. Brunswick-Luneburg-Calenberg-Hannover. Taler, 1676. Clausthal Mint. Johann Friedrich I. PCGS MS-63 Gold Shield.
Dav-6573; KM-149.2. The discipline of Brunswick Talers and their multiples seems endless, some break a barrier style-wise like this beauty and do not entrap themselves among the masses. This is a handsome broad taler boasting fine originality throughout with its iridescent cabinet toning complementing sharp striking. The rich baroque portraiture of the period pairs finely with its charming reverse design; exhibits sharp details with medallic clarity. The Latin reverse legend "Ex Duris Gloria" translates most accurately as "From suffering arises glory." A RARE type and a superb piece desting for and advanced collection.
