This specimen was lot 3186 in Sincona sale 51 (Zürich, October 2018), where it did not sell. The catalog description[1] noted,
"Frankfurt, Stadt, 1/4 Taler 1650. Auf den Westfälischen Frieden. Selten. Gutes sehr schön. Etwas fleckig. (Germany, city of Frankfurt, quarter thaler of 1650, on the peace of Westphalia. Rare, Good very fine, Some spots.)"
This type is unlisted in the SCWC, which may have disdained it as a medal. The peace of Westphalia was well worth celebrating, as it ended the Thirty Years War.
Recorded mintage: unknown.
Specification: silver, this specimen 6.90 g.
