Sincona sale 22, lot 1170

This specimen was lot 1170 in Sincona sale 22 (Zürich, May 2015), where it sold for 475 CHF (about US$597 including buyer's fees). The catalog description[1] noted,

"Braunschweig-Lüneburg-Calenberg-Hannover, Herzogtum, Johann Friedrich, 1665-1679 Taler 1665. Clausthal. Gutes sehr schön. (Germany, duchy of Brunswick-Luneburg-Calenberg-Hannover, John Frederick (1665-79), thaler of 1665, Clausthal mint, good very fine.)"

Brunswick-Luneburg-Calenberg and Brunswick-Luneburg-Celle were traded back and forth between brothers until death left only one, who became the elector of Brunswick-Luneburg-Calenberg-Hannover ("Hannover" for short) and later king of England.This type is listed for 1665-73 along with Dav-6529, -6535, -6536 and -6544. The SCWC states this type is fairly common. It seems to be the first "leaping stallion" thaler from this locale.

Reported Mintage: unknown.

Specification: silver, this specimen 28.66 g.

Catalog reference: KM 82, Welter 1716; Dav-6549.
