This specimen was lot 5066 in Künker sale 386 (Osnabrück, March 2023), where it sold for €1,200 (about US$1,551 including buyer's fees). The catalog description[1] noted,

"BRAUNSCHWEIG-WOLFENBÜTTEL, FÜRSTENTUM, Ferdinand Albrecht II. 1735. 24 Mariengroschen 1735, Zellerfeld. Von großer Seltenheit. Sehr schön. (duchy of Brunswick-Wolfenbuttel, Ferdinand Albrecht II, 1735, 24 mariengroschen of 1735, Zellerfeld mint. Extremely rare, very fine.)"

Recorded mintage: unknown.

Specification: silver, this specimen 13.03 g, the weight of 4/9 thaler.

Catalog reference: KM 868, Dav-358; Welter 2677. 2676.
