This specimen was lot 55664 in Stack's Bowers ANA sale (Pittsburgh, PA, August 2023), where it sold for $288. The catalog description[1] noted, "GERMANY. East Friesland. 2/3 Taler, 1694. Christian Eberhard. PCGS VF-35. From the Augustana Collection." This rare one year issue also comes with mintmark "FBP" and is more common thus. Christian Eberhard's windswept and poverty-stricken domain provided little revenue from which to strike coins.
