Brunswick-Luneburg: Hannover. 4 Goldgulden (8 Talers), 1751-IAS. Hannover Mint. George II. NGC AU-53. Among the more elusive of German States types, this Multiple Gold Gulden offers charming details, ever wear, and even some retained brilliance throughout. Our first offering of this type since 2013, and quite clearly a type that does not surface often in any public auction setting."
