This specimen was lot 41435 in Stack's Bowers NYINC sale (New York, January 2023), where it sold for $1,320. The catalog description[1] noted, "GERMANY. Brunswick-Luneburg: Brunswick. "Houseboy" Taler, 1663-HS. Zellerfeld Mint; mm: crossed keys. August "the Younger". NGC AU-58." This type was struck 1653-65 and is uncommon. The "houseboy" thaler acquired its nickname because the wild man appears to be dusting his forest with a broom.
Recorded mintage: unknown.
Specification: silver.
Catalog reference: Dav-6341; KM-442.1; Welter-822.
