GERMANY. Brunswick-Luneburg: Wolfenbuttel. "Spectacles" Taler, 1588. Goslar Mint. Julius. PCGS AU-53.
Dav-9067; Welter-581. A brief two-year type with the wildman holding the spectacles draped from a candle, hourglass, and skull, this deeply toned and wholesomely preserved crown offers a delightful originality and lighter highlights from gentle, even wear. To the left of the wildman is galloping horse, with reins trailing behind and head turned back toward the hairy individual.

From the Robert C. Knepper Collection.

Estimate: $1000 - $2000
