This specimen was lot 3277 in Sincona sale 57 (Zürich, May 2019), where it sold for 120 CHF (about US$143 including buyer's fees). The catalog description[1] noted,
"HOLY ROMAN EMPIRE - AUSTRIA, Franz II. (I.), 1792-1835. 1/2 Taler 1835 A, Wien. Vorzüglich. Vorderseite berieben. (empire of Austria, Francis I, 1792-1835, half thaler of 1835, Vienna mint. Extremely fine, Obverse polished.)"
