Brunswick-Luneburg: Brunswick. 6 Mariengroschen, 1714. Zellerfeld Mint; mm: crossed axes between HH. August Wilhelm. PCGS AU-58. Emanating from the first year of reign for August Wilhelm, this minor presents a stern, refined depiction of the wildman and, residing at the cusp of Mint State status, yields tremendous degree paired with an enticing tone. From the Robert C. Knepper Collection." This type was struck 1714-15 and was worth one-sixth of a thaler. As August Wilhelm succeeded Anton Ulrich in 1714, there are also six mariengroschen for his predeccessor, (KM 714).
