Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel. Heinrich Julius 5 Taler 1609-(o) AU58 NGC, Zellerfeld mint, KM31.2, Dav-LS28, Knyphausen-143, Preussag Collection-17, Welter-614. 145.21gm. Heinrich Oeckeler as mintmaster. Struck from 10 Taler dies (cf. KM32). With value stamp "5" on reverse. A laudable and expansive 5 Taler measuring an impressive 81mm in diameter and featuring an ornate depiction of Heinrich Julius on horseback. The wide format of this specimen proves a fitting canvas for the motifs, allowing for a full appreciation of Julius's detailed armor, as well as the saddle blanket's embroidery and the horse's mane and headgear. The reverse, stamped with a small "5" at the bottom to indicate the 5 Taler denomination, is no less impressive and displays a bold definition that proves admirably detailed and utterly charming. Decorated in a balanced, intermingled lilac and steel patina throughout, this impressive offering, showing a nearly uncirculated level of detail, should prove irresistible to advanced collectors of German multiple-Talers.
