This specimen was lot 25106 in Stack's Bowers NYINC sale (New York, January 2023), where it sold for $1,320. The catalog description[1] noted, "GERMANY. Brunswick-Luneburg: Hannover. Taler, 1714. Zellerfeld Mint; mm: crossed axes between HH. Georg Ludwig (George I of Great Britain). NGC MS-62. A great offering from this ever-popular series, the present wildman offers an elegant gunmetal gray tone, with some golden-olive tinges near the peripheries. An interesting type emanating from the year in which Georg Ludwig would be crowned as the King of Great Britain. From the Augustana Collection." This type was struck 1712-15 and is fairly common. In 1714, Georg Ludwig ascended the throne of Great Britain and all the Hanoverian coinage was revised to show his new title the next year.

Recorded mintage: unknown.

Specification: silver.

Catalog reference: Dav-2066; KM-77; Welter-2144.
