This specimen was lot 71411, in Stack's Bowers Collector's Choice sale (Santa Ana, CA, October 2019), where it sold for $192. The catalog description[1] noted, "GERMANY. Emden. Gulden (28 Stuber), ND (1624-37). Ferdinand II. NGC MS-62. Struck in the name of Holy Roman Emperor Ferdinand II, this somewhat crudely manufactured type offers a rather bold strike for issue and presents a pleasing gunmetal tone along with a hint of underlying luster." The town of Emden lies on the windswept shores of Ostfriesland on the North Sea. This type was struck in several varieties, mostly rare. This denomination was worth a gulden or two-thirds thaler.
