This specimen was lot 3548 in Künker sale 335 (Osnabrück, Germany, March 2020), where it sold for €45 (about US$59 including buyer's fees). The catalog description[1] noted,
"BAYERN, HERZOGTUM, SEIT 1623 KURFÜRSTENTUM, SEIT 1806 KÖNIGREICH: Maximilian III. Joseph, 1745-1777. Maximilian III. Joseph, 1745-1777. 1/2 Batzen 1754, München. Selten in dieser Erhaltung. Vorzüglich. (Germany, electorate of Bavaria, Maximilian III Joseph, 1745-77, half batzen of 1754, Munich mint. Scarce in this quality, extremely fine.)"
This denomination, struck 1753-54 only, seems to have been a failure. It is rather scarce.
Recorded mintage: unknown.
Specification: silver, 18 mm diameter, this specimen 0.94 g.
