GERMANY. Brunswick-Luneburg: Wolfenbuttel. Taler, 1549. Riechenberg Mint. Heinrich "the Younger". PCGS Genuine--Cleaned, AU Details.
Dav-9046; KM (MB)-69; Welter-391. Only lightly cleaned as noted, this barely handled crown presents a partial date, with just the last two digits (49) displayed (the 16th century being understood as the precursor). Even more interestingly, the wildman displays his shaggy, semi-nude body with more of a cross-hatched appearance rather than follicles.
From the Robert C. Knepper Collection.
Estimate: $1000 - $1500
