GERMANY. Brunswick-Luneburg: Wolfenbuttel. 1/2 Taler, 1609. Zellerfeld Mint; mm: crowned heart. Heinrich Julius. PCGS AU-58.
KM-22; Welter-656. The only example of the date seen at PCGS, this immensely pleasing and wholesome example from the final years in the reign of Heinrich Julius presents a fairly shaggy rendition of the wildman, with just a hint of striking weakness upon his face. Otherwise, quite well struck and essentially without handling.
From the Robert C. Knepper Collection.
Estimate: $600 - $900
