Comments

Coin minted at the Königsberg mint by Caspar Geelhaar, who was master coiner in Königsberg from 1699 to 1728.

The year 1716 is missing in the SCWC/NGC, but is listed by Schön and v. Schrötter.

Several variants of the initials:
  • C G
  • C-G-
  • C-G
  • C G-
  • -C-G-

The spacing of the initials, the position of the dots and the shape of the G may also vary.
Examples with a scepter between the initials are known for the years 1718, 1720 and 1721.Automatically translated
