Anhalt-Bernburg-Schaumburg-Hoym. Karl Ludwig "Mining" Taler 1774 BFN-S MS65+ NGC, Frankfurt am Main mint, KM2, Dav-1907, Schön-1 (under Holzappel), Müseler-219, Joseph/Fellner-1967. Celebrating the yield of the Holzappel mine. A thoroughly scarce emission regardless of condition, and yet one which, when found so pristinely preserved as that on offer here, proves absolutely jaw-dropping. Already a relatively short-lived principality from a numismatic perspective, that any issue passed down through the centuries so virtually perfect as this is quite simply stunning, a serene brilliance behind mottled tone suggesting that it was produced from exceptionally fresh dies, and secreted away not long after striking. To date we have handled only one example previously--an MS63, which brought $2232 in 2014--with the type apparently missing from both the Brand and Köhlmoos collections. Ex. Spink Auction 5014 (September 2005, Lot 585) From the Cape Coral Collection of German Coins, Part I
