This specimen was lot 22389 in Stack's Bowers ANA sale (Anaheim, CA, August 2016), where it sold for $129.25. The catalog description[1] noted, "GERMANY. Schleswig-Holstein-Gottorp. Taler, 1612-MP. Johann Adolf (1590-1613). VERY FINE. Added loop for suspension at 12 o'clock. Evenly toned and overall a wholesome and handsome example." The dynastic affairs of this duchy are complicated even by German standards as the dukes were related to the king of Denmark and even the czar of Russia. Most coin issues are rare. This one, minted 1611-15, is only scarce.
