My first Wildman Taler!

I have been wanting an example of one of the Wildman types in Silver and was able to pick this one up. I can't wait to get it in hand!


GERMANY. Brunswick-Luneburg: Hannover. Taler, 1720-C. Zellerfeld Mint. Georg Ludwig (George I of Great Britain). PCGS MS-62.

Dav-2076; KM-114; Welter-2236. Issued following Georg's accession to the royal throne in Great Britain, this type rather unsurprisingly features the lion and unicorn supporters that the enthusiasts of British coins would recognize. Enchantingly toned, with the light reflect quite majestically off from the fields with dazzling beauty and allure.

There's one I've never come across before, great looking Thaler!

 

I was wondering what a wild man was. Now I know. Nice looking. I think I want one.

 

Very nice! There was a big Wild Man sale today at SB. I sort of had my eyes on one, but it went for more that I wanted to spend. Of course, I may regret it someday, but who knows. I have a half thaler in my Prime Number set.

 

neither of my wildmen have belly buttons. didnt know they had them

 

Nice wildman thalers!

The wildman on this "Brillentaler" from Brunswick-Wolfenbuttle, 1589, of Julius, is certainly a hairy chap and I dare say it's been a while since he bathed in the local stream!

That is a nice one! Certainly more sasquatch-esque. I like it!
