Künker sale 263, lot 778

This specimen was lot 778 in Künker sale 263 (Osnabrück, June 2015), where it sold for €2,600 (about US$3,359 including buyer's fees). The catalog description[1] noted,

"BRAUNSCHWEIG-WOLFENBÜTTEL, FÜRSTENTUM Karl I. 1735-1780. Reichstaler 1761, Zellerfeld. Ausbeute der Grube Segen Gottes. Vorzüglich. (Germany, principality of Brunswick-Wolfenbuttel, Charles I, 1735-80, thaler of 1761, Zellerfeld mint, for the "God's Blessing" mine. Extremely fine.)"

The duke's gratitude for his mines must have waned with their output after 1752, as the number of mining thalers dwindled. This is the last one struck in the eighteenth century.

Recorded mintage: unknown.

Specification: silver.

Catalog reference: Dav-2169; KM-964, Müseler 10.3/62; Welter 2729.
