GERMANY. Brunswick-Luneburg: Brunswick. Taler, 1729-CPS. Clausthal Mint. Ludwig Rudolph (as Prince of Blankenburg). PCGS AU-58.
Dav-2136; KM-36; Welter-2458. A fairly RARE and seldom encountered type, this impressive piece presents the bust of the Prince one side, with the other side dominated by not just the wildman, but a complex oval coat-of-arms surmounted by an ermine Elector's cap. Highly brilliant and lightly toned, with hardly any evidence of handling or time in commerce.

From the Robert C. Knepper Collection.

Estimate: $4000 - $6000
