GERMANY. Brunswick-Luneburg: Wolfenbuttel. "Spectacles" Taler, 1586. Goslar Mint. Julius. PCGS AU-53.
Dav-9065; Welter-579. An interesting one-year type that is also VERY RARE, this pleasantly toned and lightly handled crown features the wildman not only wrapping one hand around the ubiquitous tree trunk, but also holding a candle, skull, hourglass, and spectacles, the last of which has given the type its name in German--the "Brillentaler," or "spectacles Taler."
From the Robert C. Knepper Collection.
Estimate: $1000 - $2000
