This specimen was lot 3471 in Künker sale 335 (Osnabrück, Germany, March 2020), where it sold for €400 (about US$524 including buyer's fees). The catalog description[1] noted,

(Germany, electorate of Bavaria, Maximilian II, 1679-1726, thirty kreuzer (half gulden) of 1692, Munich mint. Rare in this quality, extremely fine to uncirculated.)"
