This specimen was lot 4614 in Künker sale 406 (Osnabrück, March 2024), where it sold for €240 (about US$315 including buyer's fees). The catalog description[1] noted,
"RÖMISCH-DEUTSCHES REICH, Karl VI. 1711-1740. 15 Kreuzer 1728, Graz. R Feine Patina, vorzüglich. (Austria, Charles VI, 1711-40, fifteen kreuzer of 1728, Graz mint. Rare, fine patina, extremely fine.)"
This one year type seems to have been the first issue of this denomination since 1701. Fifteen keuzer was one sixth of a thaler; after the introduction of the convention thaler in the 1750's, it was reduced to one-ninth of a thaler.
