"BRAUNSCHWEIG UND LÜNEBURG, BRAUNSCHWEIG-WOLFENBÜTTEL, FÜRSTENTUM, Karl I. 1735-1780. Reichstaler 1752, Zellerfeld. Ausbeute der Grube Cronenburgs Glück. Feine Patina, kl. Randfehler, vorzüglich-Stempelglanz. Aus der Sammlung eines Ingenieurs. Exemplar der Auktion Frankfurter Münzhandlung 139, Frankfurt/Main 1992, Nr. 1133. (Germany, duchy of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel, Charles I, 1735-80, thaler of 1752, Zellerfeld mint, for the Cronenburgs Luck mine. Fine patina, minor edge flaw, extremely fine to uncirculated.)"

This mining thaler is a reissue of a type struck in 1750. The duke must have been extra grateful for his silver mines in 1752, as he issued, besides this one, Dav-2157 for the "White Swan" mine, Dav-2162 for the "Lauthenthal's Luck" mine, Dav-2164 for "Goodness of the Lord" mine, Dav-2166 for the "Rainbow" mine and Dav-2168 for the "king Carl" mine. All are scarce.

Recorded mintage: unknown.

Specification: silver, this specimen 29,31 g.
