Hannover 1727-EPH 1/6 thaler KM-179
This specimen was lot 74561 in Stack's Bowers Collectors Choice sale (Costa Mesa, CA, September 2023), where it sold for $240. The catalog description[1] noted, "GERMANY. Brunswick-Luneburg: Hannover. 6 Mariengroschen (1/6 Taler), 1727-EPH. Zellerfeld Mint. Georg II August (George II of England). PCGS AU-53. This lightly circulated example offers dove-gray toning that accentuates the design details. Subtle cobalt blue luster is found on both the obverse and reverse. A very rare partial-year type. From the Robert C. Knepper Collection." Georg II August succeeded Georg I Ludwig in 1727, so quarter gulden exist with both names. This type was struck in 1727 only but was quickly superseded by KM 180, which has only one shield on the obverse.
Recorded mintage: unknown.
Specification: silver.
Catalog reference: KM-179; Welter-2613.
