Sincona sale 59, lot 1204

This specimen was lot 1204 in Sincona sale 59 (Zürich, October 2019), where it did not sell. The catalog description^[1] noted,

The type was struck 1660 only but Nurnberg issued coins of the same denomination 1601-58. The SCWC calls this a half thaler but the weight clearly indicates that this is a two-thirds thaler or gulden.
