This specimen was lot 1294 in Ponterio sale 173 (New York, January 2013), where it sold for $441. The catalog description[1] noted, "GERMANY. Schleswig-Holstein-Gottorp. Taler, 1626. PCGS Genuine--Cleaning, EF Details Secure Holder. Friedrich III (1616-59). Darkly toned."

This one minted 1622-26 is only scarce. Another thaler (Dav-3699) exists with "HOLSATI:" in the obverse legend.

Recorded mintage: unknown.

Specification: silver.

Catalog reference: KM 64 (formerly KM-27); Dav-3698.
