One more Lichttaler. This one has a distinctive look from the previous issues. This engraver obviously took more time in the appearance of the Wildman.
These talers come from the Goslar mint, which had been in the Vitushof, which belonged to the Riechenberg monastery, since 1552. The silver for the Lichttaler came from Rammelsberg near Goslar.
