Sincona sale 35, lot 5262

This specimen was lot 5262 in Sincona sale 35 (Zürich, October 2016), where it sold for 475 CHF (about US$564 including buyer's fees). The catalog description[1] noted,

"Lucerne, 40 Batzen (Neutaler) 1816. Fast vorzüglich. (canton of Luzern, forty batzen (new thaler) of 1816. About extremely fine.)"

The coinage of the canton of Luzern (sometimes spelled Lucerne) is not so common and this rare issue is no exception. Coinage ceased altogether in 1846 with an issue of five rappen. At this time, ten rappen = one batzen and ten batzen = one frank and four franken = one thaler.

Recorded mintage: 3,107.
