Gekröntes, siebenfeldiges Wappen mit Mittelschild//St. Andreas steht v. v. das Kreuz vor sich haltend, zu den Seiten die geteilte Jahreszahl. GOLD. Von großer Seltenheit. Attraktives, sehr schönes Exemplar. Exemplar der Preussag Collection, Part I. Auktion London Coin Galleries/Künker 1, London 2015, Nr. 271. (Germany, duchy of Brunswick-Luneburg-Celle, Christian, bishop of Minden, 1611-33, ducat of 1629, Andreasberg, for the St. Andrew mine.
