NEUMEISTER, JOHANN GEORG (Germ.). Mint-master at Würzburg, 1746-1761. On some of the currency of that period we find the initials B. N., which stand for BISCHOF, Mint-warden, and NEUMEISTER. Schlickeysen describes him as Mint-warden at Würzburg, 1754-1762, and at Frankfort-on-M., 1763-1777. Joseph states that Neumeister was appointed at Frankfort on 19. April 1763. His initials G. N. occur on the currency of that mint, in conjunction with those of Philip Christian Bunsen (C. B.) Mint-master, from 1764 to 1789. Neumeister died in 1790. Bibliography. — Joseph u. Fellner, op. cit. — Schlickeysen-Pallmann, op. cit.
