The first specimen was lot 3875 in Sincona sale 39 (Zürich, May 2017), where it sold for 120 CHF (about US$144 including buyer's fees). The catalog description[1] noted,

"HOLY ROMAN EMPIRE - AUSTRIA, Erzherzog Leopold V. 1619-1632 Taler 1626. Hall. Sehr schön-vorzüglich. Gestopftes Loch. (Holy Roman Empire, archduke Leopold V, 1619-32, thaler of 1626, Hall mint. Very fine-extremely fine. Plugged hole.)"

The second specimen was lot 45664 in Stack's Bowers NYINC sale (New York, January 2026), where it sold for $810. The catalog description[1] noted, "AUSTRIA. Holy Roman Empire. Taler, 1626. Hall Mint.
