This specimen was lot 23259 in Stack's Bowers NYINC sale (New York, January 2023), where it sold for $1,800. The catalog description[1] noted, "HUNGARY. Taler, 1641-KB. Kremnica Mint. Ferdinand III. PCGS MS-62. Quite impressive and exceptional, this piece--the only such occurrence of the date at PCGS--offers a pleasing strike with great detail, all while some gunmetal gray toning yields to a deeper champagne nature around the devices." This type was struck without change 1637-61, rendering it one of the more common thalers of the period. During Ferdinand's reign, most of Hungary was still ruled by the Turks.
