Stack's Bowers 2023 ANA sale, lot 55620
SB823-55620r.jpg

This specimen was lot 55620 in Stack's Bowers ANA sale (Pittsburgh, PA, August 2023), where it sold for $552. The catalog description[1] noted, "GERMANY. Brunswick-Luneburg: Calenberg & Luneburg (Celle). Taler, 1664-HS. Zellerfeld Mint. Christian Ludwig. PCGS AU-55. From the Robert C. Knepper Collection." Christian Ludwig was duke in Calenberg 1641-48 and in Celle 1648-65. His younger brother Georg Wilhelm was duke in Calenberg 1648-65 and in Celle 1665-1705. The last brother, Ernst August, was duke in Calenberg 1679-98 and elector of Hannover 1692-98. Ernst August's son George inherited Calenberg and Hannover in 1698, Celle in 1705 and the throne of Great Britain in 1714. This type was struck intermittently from 1643 to 1665. It varies from the very similar Dav-6518 in having the wild man hold his tree with his left hand. The SCWC incorrectly lists this under -Calenberg when Christian Ludwig abdicated that title to assume that of -Celle in 1648.

Recorded mintage: unknown.

Specification: silver.

Catalog reference: Dav-6517; cf. KM-47.4; Welter-1505.
