This specimen was lot 2957 in Sincona sale 47 (Zürich, May 2018), where it sold for 850 CHF (about US$1,020 including buyer's fees). The catalog description[1] noted,

"SWITZERLAND, St. Gallen, Abtei, Beda Angehrn von Hagenwil, 1767-1796. 12 Kreuzer 1773. Jahreszahl auf Wappenseite. Selten. Fast vorzüglich. (Abbey of St. Gall, Beda Angehrn von Hagenwil, 1767-96, twelve kreuzer of 1773, date on arms side. Rare, About extremely fine.)"

The monks also issued a kreuzer (KM 7), six kreuzer (KM 16), a half ducat (KM 20) and a ducat (KM 21) in 1773. The canton of St. Gall issued almost no coinage between 1739 and 1786.
