This specimen was lot 31106 in Heritage sale 3105 (New York, January 2023), where it sold for $3,120. The catalog description[1] noted, "German States: Saxe-Gotha-Altenburg. Friedrich III Taler 1765 MS64 NGC, Gotha mint. A near-Gem wearing surfaces that ring with fearless flash, where an autumnal patina manifests in a seemingly aleatoric pattern. The devices speak with the same confidence, turning up particularly sharp on the obverse bust. From the Cape Coral Collection, Part II." This rather scarce type was struck 1765 and 1768. The previous issue (Dav-2722) had two lions supporting the arms.

Recorded mintage: 28,000.
