GERMANY. Brunswick-Luneburg: Calenburg & Luneburg (Celle). Taler, 1661-HS. Zellerfeld Mint. Georg Wilhelm. PCGS AU-58.
Dav-6528; KM-57.1; Welter-1583. A fairly deeply toned specimen, this "wildman crown" features a mix of gunmetal gray and amber, with a particularly expressive countenance to the shrub-clad hermit. A solid overall example with a great deal of charm, and one that would serve as an excellent type coin.
From the Robert C. Knepper Collection.
Estimate: $700 - $1000
