This specimen was lot 3479 in Künker Auction 426 (Osnabrück, July 2025), where it sold for €600 (about US$850 including buyers' fees). The catalog description[1] noted,
"BRAUNSCHWEIG-WOLFENBÜTTEL, FÜRSTENTUM Julius, 1568-1589. Reichstaler 1570, Goslar. Lichttaler. Sehr schön. (Germany, duchy of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel, Julius 1568-89, "light" thaler of 1570, Goslar mint. Very fine.)"
This "light" thaler was struck 1570-76 and is fairly common. The nickname derives from the candlestick held by the wild man. The reverse legend, "Aliis inserviendo consumor", translates as "I am consumed by serving others."
Recorded mintage: unknown.
Specification: silver, this specimen 28,98 g.
Catalog reference: KM MB138, Welter 576; Dav-9060 A.
