LAUER, LUDWIG CHRISTOPH (Germ.). Die-sinking establishment, founded in 1729, and reconstructed in 1860 under the style of “ Münz-Präge Anstalt L. Chr. Lauer", Kleinweidenmühle No. 12, Nuremberg.

LAUFFER, CARL GOTTLIEB
LAUFFER, CARL GOTTLIEB (Germ.). Mint-master at Nuremberg, 1746- 1755. Franks & Grueber call him an Engraver (Vide Med. Ill., II, 730). A Thaler of Hall (Suabia), 1746, is signed C.G.L.
