This specimen was lot 1010 in Künker sale 293 (Osnabrück, Germany, July 2017), where it sold for €190 (about US$256 including buyer's fees). The catalog description[1] noted,

(Germany, county of Mansfeld-Friedeburg, joint rule of Peter Ernest I, Bruno II, William I and John George IV, 1601-04, half thaler of 1603, Eisleben mint. Edge defects, very fine.)"
