GERMANY. Brunswick-Luneburg: Brunswick. "Mining" Taler, 1745-IBH. Zellerfeld Mint. Karl I. PCGS MS-64.
Dav-2163; KM-920; Welter-2724. Commemorating the "Goodness of the Lord" Mine. Undoubtedly one of the finest examples of the type that one is likely to encounter, this stunning near-Gem features a deep cabinet tone and hints of olive-champagne toning nearer the peripheries. Meanwhile, elegant brilliance radiates from beneath, and the overall mining scene is quite intricate and impressive. Above the three hills of the mine are the celestial symbols then-associated with the metals which the mine yielded, namely Venus (for copper), the Moon (for silver), and Saturn (for lead).

From the Robert C. Knepper Collection.Ex: NASCA/C.I.C.F. (3/1982) Lot # 592.

Estimate: $3000 - $5000
