GERMANY. Brunswick-Luneburg: Calenburg. Taler, (15)81/79. Muenden Mint. Erich II "the Younger". PCGS AU-58.
cf. Dav-9008; cf. Welter-447; Kuenker-308, 2245 (same dies). With the name of Rudolf II. Overdate variety. This VERY RARE variant, seemingly a muling of types, features the final two digits of the date (81) on either side of the Golden Fleece at the bottom of the obverse. Meanwhile, the same final two digits appear on the reverse, but clearly engraved over a prior "79." Extremely well struck and enticing, with sharp features, hints of brilliance in the protected areas, and an attractive cabinet tone. Incorrectly labeled on the holder as Dav-9009.
From the Robert C. Knepper Collection.
Estimate: $2000 - $4000
