This specimen was lot 2638 in Sincona sale 57 (Zürich, May 2019), where it sold for 475 CHF (about US$565 including buyer's fees). The catalog description[1] noted,
"DEUTSCHLAND | Eisleben, Stadt, 1/2 Taler 1661. Auf die Jahrhundertfeier der Naumburger Konvention. Gutes sehr schön. Hübsche Patina. (Germany, city of Eisleben, half thaler of 1661, on the centennial of the Naumberger Convention. Good very fine, Attractive patina.)"
The SCWC consigns this issue to the Unusual World Coins, probably because of its medallic nature. Three-quarter and single thalers also exist.
