This specimen was lot 7034 in Stack's Bowers NYINC sale (New York, January 2022), where it sold for $1,440. The catalog description[1] noted, "GERMANY. Hesse-Cassel. 1/96 Taler, 1630. Wilhelm V. NGC MS-61. Obverse: Coat of arms with divided date above; Reverse: Tree in storm, DEO VOLENTE HUMILIS LEVABOR around. A boldly struck little coin with some gray toning in the fields."
