GERMANY. Brunswick-Luneburg: Wolfenbuttel. Taler, 1590. Goslar Mint. Heinrich Julius. PCGS MS-62.
Dav-9069; Welter-634. Steely gray and rather sharp, this nearly choice crown presents charming eye appeal and even retains some glistening hints of brilliance emanating from the protected areas. Though listed on the holder as Dav-9072--on account of the overall shape of the shield--the attribution to Dav-9069 is given in that the governing factors in Davenport are the style of the bust, the stance of the wildman, and the placement of the tree with respect to the wildman.
From the Robert C. Knepper Collection.
Estimate: $1500 - $2500
