This specimen was lot 41317 in Stack's Bowers NYINC sale (New York, January 2023), where it sold for $192. The catalog description[1] noted, "GERMANY. Brunswick-Luneburg: Brunswick. 24 Mariengroschen, 1785-CES. Zellerfeld Mint. Karl Wilhelm Ferdinand. PCGS MS-61. From the Robert C. Knepper Collection."

It had a face value of one gulden, which was two-thirds thaler at the beginning of the eighteenth century but slipped to only half a thaler by this time.

Recorded mintage: unknown.

Specification: silver.

Catalog reference: KM-1022; Welter-2908.
