Brunswick-Lüneburg-Calenberg-Hannover. Johann Friedrich Taler 1670-LW MS64 NGC, Clausthal mint, KM115, Dav-6551, Welter-1718. Distinctively toned and exceptionally preserved for this popular 17th-century Taler type, exhibiting a leaping horse juxtaposed against intricate reverse arms comprised of a shield surmounted by ornate helmets. The deep patina and carefully handled surfaces point to long-term cabinet storage, while glassy luster grips the obverse devices and decorates the near-entirety of the reverse fields. Lagoon-blue, crimson, tangerine, and warm golden accents throughout yield an impressive aesthetic caliber that easily propels this borderline gem to rarely seen heights of allure and quality.
