This specimen was lot 73235 in Stack's Bowers Collector's Choice sale (Costa Mesa, CA, February 2023), where it sold for $264. The catalog description[1] noted, "GERMANY. Brunswick-Luneburg: Brunswick. 24 Mariengroschen, 1682. Zellerfeld Mint. Rudolph August. PCGS AU-55. Serving an as exemplary representative, this near-Mint minor yields a deep cabinet tone and nearly nothing in the way of handling. As such, one that should garner considerable attention and enthusiasm. From the Robert C. Knepper Collection." This issue of 1677-85 was the third 24 mariengroschen for this state. Equal to two-thirds thaler, it was struck steadily until 1834. No mintmaster appears on this coin. The wild man is the most common design but a few were issued with the leaping stallion reverse (KM 586, 615, 868, 895, 1012, 1033).
