Künker sale 353, lot 4050

This specimen was lot 4050 in Künker sale 353 (Osnabrück, Germany, September 2021), where it sold for €700 (about US$974 including buyer's fees). The catalog description[1] noted,

"BRANDENBURG-PREUSSEN, PREUSSEN, KÖNIGREICH, Friedrich Wilhelm III. 1797-1840. 2/3 Taler 1810, Berlin. Handelsmünze. Feine Patina, winz. Schrötlingsfehler, fast vorzüglich. (Germany, kingdom of Prussia, Frederick William III, 1797-1840, two-thirds thaler of 1810, Berlin mint, trade coin. Fine patina, minor planchet flaws, about extremely fine.)"

This gulden was worth two-thirds of a reichs thaler or half a convention thaler. Similar demands of trade caused a previous issue in 1801 (KM 363). This is the final issue of the denomination.
