The catalog description&lt;sup&gt;[1]&lt;/sup&gt; noted, &quot;German States: [[German States, Hesse-Cassel|Hesse-Cassel]]. Taler, 1776-BR. Friedrich II, The Great, 1760-1785. Head right. Reverse: Star of the Order of the Golden Lion. Cleaned. Fine.&quot; The SCWC lists this type for 1776-79 and is the most common thaler for this locale in the eighteenth century. We don't think this prince was ever called &quot;Friedrich II, The Great'; it is likely that the auction cataloguer has him confused with Frederick of Prussia, who lived at the same time.<br /> <br /> ''Recorded mintage:'' unknown but fairly common.<br /> <br /> ''Specification:'' silver.<br /> <br /> ''Catalog reference:'' [[Silver crowns by Davenport number|Dav-2303]]; KM-516. <br /> <br /> ''[[Bibliography|Source:]]''<br /> * Michael, Thomas, ''Standard Catalog of World Coins, 1701-1800, 7th ed.,'' Iola, WI: Krause Publications, 2016. <br /> * Davenport, John S., ''German Talers, 1700-1800, 2nd Ed.,'' London: Spink &amp; Son, 1965. <br /> * &lt;sup&gt;[1]&lt;/sup&gt;Goldberg, Ira, Larry Goldberg, John Lavender, Yifu Che, Jason Villareal and Stephen Harvey, ''Goldberg Sale 115: the Pre-Long Beach Auction,'' Los Angeles: Goldberg Coins and Collectibles, 2020.<br /> <br /> ''Link to:''<br /> * [[Hesse-Cassel 1766-FU thaler Dav-2302|1766 thaler]]<br /> * [[Hesse-Cassel 1775 ducat Fr-1284|1775 ducat]]<br /> * [[Hesse-Cassel 1776-BR 1/2 thaler|1776 half thaler]]<br /> * [[Hesse-Cassel 1778-BR thaler Dav-2303|1778 thaler]]<br /> * [[Coins and currency dated 1776]]<br /> <br /> [[Category:Selections from Goldberg sale 115]][[Category:Silver thalers of Germany]]</div>
