GERMANY. Brunswick-Luneburg: Brunswick. "Mining" Taler, 1752-IBH. Zellerfeld Mint. Karl I. PCGS MS-63.
Dav-2167; KM-942; Welter-2725. Commemorating the "Bleifeld" Mine. The second year in a brief two-year series, this "Mining" Taler presents just a slight degree of central striking weakness, but otherwise radiates with a soft gray tone and a good deal of luster. Undoubtedly choice and exceptionally pleasing, this type also features an "Easter egg" of sorts, in that the celestial symbol associated with lead (Saturn) is above the crowned column, indicating the type of metal mined there--bleifeld in German literally translating to "lead field."
From the Robert C. Knepper Collection.
Estimate: $1500 - $2500
