Künker sale 294, lot 3754

This specimen was lot 3754 in Künker sale 294 (Osnabruck, Germany, July 2017), where it sold for €2,000 (about US$2,696 including buyer's fees). The catalog description[1] noted,

"SCHLESIEN, HERZOGTUM, Die schlesischen Stände. Dukat 1634, HR, Breslau. GOLD. R Leichte Bearbeitungsspuren, sehr schön. (Silesian estates, ducat of 1634, Breslau mint. Scarce, some evidence of tooling, very fine.)"

This rare type is attested in Friedberg but we can't find it in the SCWC. It is accompanied by a thaler (Dav-3172). This specimen is a little light to be a ducat and may actually be a goldgulden.

Recorded mintage: unknown.

Specification: gold, this specimen 3.26 g.

Catalog reference: Fr-3109; F. u. S. 253, KM unlisted.
