This specimen was lot 75032 in Stack's Bowers Collectors Choice Online Auction (Costa Mesa, CA, February 2025), where it sold for $264. The catalog description[1] noted, "GERMANY. Brunswick-Luneburg: Hannover. 2/3 Taler, 1715-HCB. Clausthal Mint. Georg Ludwig (George I of Great Britain). PCGS AU-58." This type was struck 1711-15 and is fairly common. The wild man appeared on the 24 mariengroschen, which had the same value. 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.
