This specimen was lot 41318 in Stack's Bowers NYINC sale (New York, January 2023), where it sold for $216. The catalog description[1] noted, "GERMANY. Brunswick-Luneburg: Brunswick. 24 Mariengroschen, 1789-C. Zellerfeld Mint. Karl Wilhelm Ferdinand. PCGS MS-61. From the Robert C. Knepper Collection." This type was struck 1784-89 and is rather expensive in nice condition altho this example realized only one-fourth of the catalog value. 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.
