1699 German States Silver 2 Mariengroschen EF40 - IMPORTANT NOTE: We do not agree with the grade provided with this ”off-brand” grading company. Incredibly desirable and sharply detailed late 17th-century silver fractional issue from the silver-rich Harz mining region. This piece features the iconic Harz ”Wild Man” standing facing with an uprooted pine tree, framed by the Latin titles of co-ruling Dukes Rudolf August and Anton Ulrich. The reverse displays the bold denomination with three rosettes beneath, encircled by the Latin motto REMIGIO ALTISSIMI UNI (”Under the guidance of the Almighty alone”) and the 1699 date. Winner shall receive the exact coin shown here. (NH/LBB)
