This specimen was lot 32 in Künker sale 293 (Osnabrück, Germany, July 2017), where it sold for €240 (about US$324 including buyer's fees). The catalog description[1] noted,

"MÜNSTER, BISTUM, Franz Arnold von Wolff-Metternich, 1707-1718. 24 Mariengroschen 1710, Münster. R Sehr schön. (bishopric of Munster, Francis Arnold of Wolff-Metternich, 1707-18, 24 mariengroschen of 1710, Munster mint. Scarce, very fine.)"

The bishops of Munster issued thalers on occasion during the early eighteenth century but a "sede vacante" issue of 1761 (Dav-2470) is the last. All of the ecclesiastical states were mediatized by Napoleon and handed over to his allies in 1800-06. This type was issued 1709-11 and is rather expensive. Two-thirds thaler equaled one gulden equaled 24 mariengroschen.

Recorded mintage: unknown.

Specification: silver.

Catalog reference: Dav-694; Schulze 172 c, KM-134.
