Dav-9057; Welter-575. With the name of Maximilian II. A delightful one-year type that is so-called on account of the wildman holding a licht (light or candle), this handsome crown radiates with originality and a light cabinet tone, all while glistening brilliance still resides in the protected areas of the peripheries.
From the Robert C. Knepper Collection.
Acquired from Paul Davis (Dobbs Ferry, NY), March 1967, for $42.50.
Estimate: $1000 - $1500
