This specimen was lot 5311 in Künker sale 386 (Osnabrück, March 2023), where it sold for €400 (about US$517 including buyer's fees). The catalog description[1] noted,
"LÜBECK, STADT, Mark 1549 (Jahreszahl im Stempel aus 1546 geändert). Sehr schön. (city of Lübeck, mark of 1549, 1549/6 overdate. Very fine.)"
This type was struck 1549 only and has a substantial catalog value for such an obscure coin. It was probably intended to trade for two-thirds thaler (at this point, the gulden was five-sixths of a thaler).
Recorded mintage: unknown.
Specification: silver, this specimen 18.78 g.
