This specimen was lot 1226 in Sincona sale 22 (Zürich, May 2015), where it sold for 400 CHF (about US$502 including buyer's fees). The catalog description<sup>[1]</sup> noted, <blockquote>"''Braunschweig-Lüneburg-Calenberg-Hannover, Herzogtum, Georg II. 1727-1760 Taler 1760. Clausthal. Sehr schön-vorzüglich.'' ([[Germany]], duchy of Brunswick-Luneburg-Calenberg-Hannover, George II (1727-60), thaler of 1760, Clausthal mint, very fine to extremely fine.)"</blockquote> This is the final date of a type struck 1751-60 and is the last "leaping stallion" thaler from this locale. Hannover, linked to the British crown 1714-1837, embroiled England in several continental conflicts the British establishment would rather have steered clear of.
