The first specimen is one of a type struck in Hannover for the prince of Schaumburg-Lippe. The prince did not see fit to issue coinage regularly and examples from this tiny state are scarce. In 1871, with the successful conclusion of the Franco-Prussian War, the currency was reformed to use pfennig and marks and the taler was dropped, tho it remained legal tender at three mark. The second specimen was lot 4742 in Goldberg sale 65 (Los Angeles, September 2011), where it sold for $230. The catalog description[1] noted, "German States - Schaumburg-Lippe. Taler, 1865-B. Adolf Georg. Extremely Fine."

Specification: 18.52 g, 0.900 fine silver, .536 troy oz ASW, lettered edge.
