This specimen was lot 30264 in Stack's Bowers ANA sale (Chicago, August 2022), where it sold for $1,440. The catalog description[1] noted, "AUSTRIA. 2 Talers, ND (1564-95). Hall Mint. Archduke Ferdinand. NGC EF-40. Rather deeply toned and presenting a lesser degree of handling than the grade would otherwise lead one to believe, this wholesome and hefty survivor offers a great deal of charm and originality. From the Augustana Collection." Davenport notes a considerable number of thalers and multiple thalers struck for the archduke, Dav-8088 thru Dav-8103, all without dates. Künker states that this was struck circa 1601-04.
