Hannover 1749-S goldgulden Fr-611
This specimen was lot 31452 in Heritage sale 3067 (Long Beach, September 2018), where it sold for $780. The catalog description[1] noted, "German States: Brunswick-Lüneburg-Calenberg-Hannover. George II August Goldgulden or 2 Taler 1749-S MS62 NGC. An attractive example of a type that doesn't often come up for sale, especially in such a desirable grade. A little bit of weak striking, but still clearly a Mint State coin. From the Collection of a Berkshire Gentleman." The goldgulden was nominally equal to a ducat but was slightly lighter and lower in purity. This type was struck 1749-54 and was worth two thalers as the reverse states. Quarter, half, two and four goldgulden were also issued.
Recorded mintage: unknown.
Specification: 3.25 g, 0.917 fine gold.
