This is the only example known according to Cahn (Die Münzen des Hochstifts Eichstätt (1962)).

This thaler was made by counterstamping a [[Hungary 1691-KB thaler Dav-3261|Hungarian 1691-KB thaler]] and is a "Sede vacante" (vacant seat) thaler which was issued on the occasion of the death of the incumbent bishop (or pope) and prior to the elevation of his successor. This is the only example known according to Cahn (Die Münzen des Hochstifts Eichstätt (1962)). This coin is misattributed in Krause[1] as a double thaler when there was not enough change in usual standards of usual thalers from 1691 to 1725 to make it a double thaler.

[[Image:Staatliche Münzsammlung München 2-0057 rev.jpg|300px|thumb|photo courtesy Staatliche Münzsammlung München (CC BY-NC-SA 4.0)]]

This thaler was made by counterstamping a [[Hungary 1691-KB thaler Dav-3261|Hungarian 1691-KB thaler]] and is a "Sede vacante" (vacant seat) thaler which was issued on the occasion of the death of the incumbent bishop (or pope) and prior to the elevation of his successor. This is the only example known according to Cahn (Die Münzen des Hochstifts Eichstätt (1962)). This coin is misattributed in Krause[1] as a double thaler when there was not enough change in usual standards of usual thalers from 1691 to 1725 to make it a double thaler.

This specimen was lot 3314 in Künker sale 353 (Osnabrück, Germany, September 2021), where it sold for €2,400 (about US$3,340 including buyer's fees). The catalog description[1] noted, <blockquote>"''BRANDENBURG-PREUSSEN, PREUSSEN, KÖNIGREICH, Friedrich Wilhelm I. der Soldatenkönig, 1713-1740. 1/2 Reichstaler 1718, HFH, Berlin.

The series was struck for Prussian Gelderland, a small province on the border with the Netherlands.

After the death of Charles II of Spain in 1700, the War of Spanish Succession (1701-1714) broke out. Charles left the Spanish dominions to Philip of Anjou in his will in the hope that they would not be partitioned. In this, he was backed by Philip's grandfather, Louis XIV, king of France. The Grand Alliance (League of Augsburg) was an anti-French alliance made in 1689 and was made up of the Dutch Republic, England, and Austria which disbanded after the Nine Years war in 1697. This alliance was reformed prior to the War of Spanish Succession by the Treaty of the Hague in 1701 and included the same parties. All feared French dominance in Europe. In 1702, Prussia joined. At the signing of the Treaty of Utrecht, Prussia was rewarded with a section of Upper Guelders that was previously part of the Spanish Netherlands.
