GERMANY. Brunswick-Luneburg: Brunswick. "Mining" Taler, 1752-IBH. Zellerfeld Mint. Karl I. PCGS MS-61.
Dav-2162; KM-923.2; Welter-2727. Commemorating the "Lauthenthal Luck" Mine. Displaying a woman playing a lute (a pun relating to the name of the mine) in front of the opening of the mine itself, the specimen is part of a series of "Mining" Talers that pay homage to various mines within Karl's realm. A few very light planchet flaws are noted, but easily forgotten, with deeper toning accentuating the devices and a fairly solid strike overall.
From the Robert C. Knepper Collection.
Estimate: $1000 - $2000
