This specimen was lot 5209 in Künker sale 386 (Osnabrück, March 2023), where it sold for €850 (about US$1,098 including buyer's fees). The catalog description<sup>[1]</sup> noted, <blockquote>"''BRAUNSCHWEIG-CALENBERG-HANNOVER, AB 1692 KURFÜRSTENTUM HANNOVER, Georg II. 1727-1760. Reichstaler 1751, Clausthal. Fast vorzüglich. Exemplar der Slg. Dr. Werner Koch, Auktion Dr. Busso Peus Nachf. 273, Frankfurt/Main 1970, Nr. 975.'' ([[German States, Hannover|electorate of Hannover]], George II, 1727-60, thaler of 1751, Clausthal mint. About extremely fine.)"</blockquote> This "bust obverse" thaler was struck 1751 only and is rather scarce. The thuggish portrait likely explains its discontinuance. Other thalers for 1751 include KM 194.2 ([[Hannover 1752-C thaler Dav-2086|leaping stallion]]) and KM 232.1 (St. Andrew reverse). Altho mining thalers were very popular at this time, none were made in 1751.
