From 1618 to 1648, most of Europe engaged in the 30 Year War, which was principally fought in Germany. During this time, a gorgeous, golden jakobslöser from around the Brunswick region was struck. And in 2015, it sold for close to 1 million US dollars, nearly 500% higher than its 1999 auction price of slightly over $200,000. Coins from Germany span from all eras and include some of the most beautiful coins in the world, including this 1912J Hamburg Proof 66.
