| German States, Brunswick-Wolfenbuttel, Rudolph August & Anton Ulrich, 24 mariengroschen (2/3 Taler), 1701-HCH. 17.30g, 37.95. Silver. Popular leaping stallion motif. The running stallion was a badge of Brunswick, referring to the pre-Christian Saxons who sacrificed and ate horses. Rudolf August and Anton Ulrich shared the ducal title until Rudolf's death 1704, whereupon Anton ruled alone until his death in 1714. This type was struck 1701-05. KM# 615. Reverse partly weakly struck. Note: Obverse with handwriting's ink mark (probably by ex-collector). |
