This specimen was lot 30239 in Heritage auction 3096 (Dallas, TX, March 2021), where it sold for $20,400. The catalog description[1] noted,
"German States: Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel. Rudolf August 4 Taler 1685-HH/RB AU58 NGC, Zellerfeld mint. Variety with overpunched mintmaster's initials. A beautifully toned representative of this Rudolf August multiple taler, depicting a lute player standing on a snail, with a picturesque city and country view in the background. Glossy luster and design motifs that have been minimally impacted by wear confirm a strong level of preservation for the type, as a spectacular arrangement of iridescent coloration frames the obverse periphery, gripping the raised design motifs. Rarely seen as a type, particularly so in this visually impressive state, with a clear "4" stamp to the reverse indicating the large denomination. Ex. Dr. Busso Peus Nachfolger Auction 373 (October 2002, Lot 2535). From the Paramount Collection."
Mining thalers were almost never struck in multiples. This enormous coin also comes with mintmaster's initials RB. Quintuple thalers (Dav-LS109), triple thalers (Dav-LS111) and double thalers (Dav-LS112) exist.
Recorded mintage: unknown.
Specification: silver, this specimen 104.24 g.
