GERMANY. Brunswick-Luneburg: Brunswick. 1/4 Ducat, 1728-HCH. Brunswick Mint. Ludwig Rudolph (as Prince of Blankenburg). PCGS MS-63.
Fr-687; KM-35; Welter-2452. Weight: 0.86 gms. An EXTREMELY RARE fractional gold issue, this shimmering specimen must undoubtedly be one of the finest extant. The strike is crisp and quite clear, and the luster radiates throughout. The naval of the wildman, rather interestingly, is quite pronounced, and the only real aspect needing to be mentioned is the slight planchet flaw at the upper left edge of the obverse.
From the Robert C. Knepper Collection.
Includes ticket from Kuenker.
Estimate: $1500 - $3000
