GERMANY. Brunswick-Luneburg: Wolfenbuttel. "Unity" Taler, 1599. Goslar Mint. Heinrich Julius. PCGS AU-55.
Dav-9096; Welter-632. A fairly SCARCE and interesting type, this Taler gets is name from the disturbances and disharmony within the duchy that was quelled through unity. Here, the bundle of arrows represents the unity, with the fact that they are inverted representing the disharmony, and the bearers of the arms representing the support shown in opposition to the strife. Pleasingly toned, with an alluring cabinet nature and some glistening hints of brilliance around the peripheries.
From the Robert C. Knepper Collection.
