This specimen was lot 25045 in Stack's Bowers NYINC sale (New York, January 2023), where it sold for $600. The catalog description[1] noted, "GERMANY. Brunswick-Luneburg: Wolfenbuttel. 1/2 Taler, 1609. Zellerfeld Mint; mm: crowned heart. Heinrich Julius. PCGS AU-58. The only example of the date seen at PCGS, this immensely pleasing and wholesome example from the final years in the reign of Heinrich Julius presents a fairly shaggy rendition of the wildman, with just a hint of striking weakness upon his face. Otherwise, quite well struck and essentially without handling. From the Robert C. Knepper Collection." This half thaler was struck 1604-13 and is fairly common.
Recorded mintage: unknown.
Specification: silver.
Catalog reference: KM-22; Welter-656.
