GERMANY. Brunswick-Luneburg: Brunswick. "Houseboy" Taler, 1665. Zellerfeld Mint. August "the Younger". PCGS MS-62.
Dav-6342; KM-442.2; Welter-822. From the uprooted tree seemingly held like a broom, this so-called "houseboy" type thus arrived at its name, and it appears by the detailed look on the face of the wildman that he did not at all enjoy such a lowly title. Lightly toned and exceptionally brilliant, with a delightful russet color nearer portions of the peripheries. Undoubtedly one of the more charming and impressive examples of the type that one is likely to encounter.
From the Robert C. Knepper Collection.
Estimate: $1000 - $2000
