GERMANY. Brunswick-Luneburg: Wolfenbuttel. "Lying" Taler, 1596. Goslar Mint. Heinrich Julius. PCGS AU-53.
Dav-9089; Welter-628. A charming and rather well struck example of the type, featuring an alluring cabinet tone, light handling, some evidence of brilliance in the recesses, and a name (lügentaler) that emanates from the lying lion that is being crowned by the figure of Victory flying above.
From the Robert C. Knepper Collection.
Ex: Peus 305 (10/1982) Lot # 425.
Estimate: $800 - $1200
