- GERMANY. Brunswick-Luneburg: Wolfenbuttel. "Pelican" Taler, (15)99. Goslar Mint. Heinrich Julius. PCGS AU-58. Dav-9094; Welter-631. Fairly RARE and highly popular, this attractively toned issue verges upon Mint State status and displays some hints of lustrous brilliance in the protected areas along with an above average strike. Another issue relating to the disturbances in the Duke's realms, this so-called "pelican" Taler is meant to convey the idea that the Duke, in an act providing alms, is a pelican sacrificing himself to his young--in this case, his subjects. A great iconographic type from the middle period of his reign. Estimate: $2,000 - $3,000. Provenance: From the Robert C. Knepper Collection. Ex: Coins & Antiquities (9/1987) Lot # 573.
