Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel. Anton Ulrich Taler 1710-HCH MS66 NGC, Brunswick mint, KM693.2, Dav-2120, Schön-A75. A breathtaking Taler of Anton Ulrich and the first of this type we've yet handled, surprisingly absent from even the Cape Coral Collection, a surprising feat when considering the advanced state of our current offering. The product of a skilled hand as evidenced by Ulrich's magnificent portrait and reverse arms, rendered in impressive depth and detail and witnessed here practically as struck. At a tilt, cerulean and lavender hues reign supreme atop a champagne undercurrent, illuminating only the most trivial visual distraction across still expanses. Currently the only example certified at NGC and likely the most advanced of all examples having come to market in recent decades. As such, we expect the present opportunity to entice only the most discerning of collectors. Ex. Peak Collection (UBS Gold & Numismatics Auction 74, January 2008, Lot 126); Virgil Brand Collection, Part 5 (Leu Numismatik Auction 70, October 1997, Lot 6180)
