GERMANY. Brunswick-Luneburg: Brunswick. "Houseboy" Taler, 1665. Zellerfeld Mint. August "the Younger". PCGS MS-62.
Dav-6342; KM-442.2; Welter-822. From the uprooted tree seemingly held like a broom, this so-called "houseboy" type thus arrived at its name, and it appears by the detailed look on the face of the wildman that he did not at all enjoy such a lowly title. Lightly toned and exceptionally brilliant, with a delightful russet color nearer portions of the peripheries. Undoubtedly one of the more charming and impressive examples of the type that one is likely to encounter.
