Goldberg sale 80, lot 4052

The Duchy of Brunswick was divided and subdivided in the seventeenth century but was eventually reassembled as the Kingdom of Hannover before being absorbed into Prussia in 1866.

This huge coin was accompanied by a four thaler (Dav-LS145), five thaler (Dav-LS144), several double thalers (Dav-6496, -A6498, -6499), several thalers (Dav-6488, Dav-6498, Dav-6500) and two half thalers (KM 164 and KM 191).
