This specimen was lot 3035 in Künker sale 405 (Osnabrück, March 2024), where it sold for €700 (about US$919 including buyer's fees). The catalog description[1] noted,
"DIE REICHSSTADT REGENSBURG. DIE ZEIT DES KAISERS KARL V., 1520-1556. Prägungen aus der zweiten Regensburger Münzperiode von 1535 bis 1551 nach der österreichisch-bayerischen Münzordnung vom 1. Februar 1535. Guldiner 1547, mit Titel Karls V. Münzmeister Martin Walch. Beckenbauer 2104; Dav-9682; Slg. Bach (Auktion Künker 238) 4531. Hübsche Patina, kl. Schrötlingsfehler, sehr schön +. (city of Regensburg, guldiner of 1547, struck in the name of Charles V. Handsome patina, planchet defects, very fine or better.)"
This type was struck 1535, 1538-39 and 1547-49 and is actually fairly affordable for a sixteenth century thaler. By the end of the century, the gulden would have slipped from one thaler to 5/6 thaler.
Recorded mintage: unknown.
Specification: 28.82 g, 0.895 fine silver, 41 mm diameter, this specimen 28,75 g.
