This specimen was lot 74602 in Stack's Bowers Collectors Choice sale (Costa Mesa, CA, September 2023), where it sold for $528. The catalog description[1] noted, "GERMANY. Brunswick-Luneburg: Calenberg & Luneburg (Celle). Taler, 1663-HS. Zellerfeld or Goslar Mint. Christian Ludwig. PCGS AU-55. Lightly handled and with some minor striking weakness, the Taler nevertheless remains enchantingly wholesome and pleasingly toned. From the Robert C. Knepper Collection. Ex: Kunker 110, Lot # 3344 (with ticket)." Christian Ludwig was duke in Calenberg 1641-48 and in Celle 1648-65. His younger brother Georg Wilhelm was duke in Calenberg 1648-65 and in Celle 1665-1705. The last brother, Ernst August, was duke in Calenberg 1679-98 and elector of Hannover 1692-98. Ernst August's son George inherited Calenberg and Hannover in 1698, Celle in 1705 and the throne of Great Britain in 1714. This type is recorded for 1663-65 and has the word "ANNO" in front of the date. The SCWC incorrectly shows a photo of Dav-6521 (leaping stallion reverse) for its listing of KM 210.
