This specimen was lot 2443 in Sincona sale 33 (Zürich, October 2016), where it did not sell. The catalog description[1] noted,
"Stralsund. Taler 1640. Titel Ferdinand III. Sehr schön-vorzüglich. Kl. Schrötlingsfehler und Prägeschwäche. (Germany, city of Stralsund, thaler of 1640, in the name of Ferdinand III. Very fine-extremely fine, Minor planchet fault and weakly struck.)"
Stralsund, in the duchy of Pomerania, was a member of the Hanseatic League but fell under Swedish rule 1637-1815, when the port passed to Prussia. While some of the minors are listed fairly inexpensively, all the thalers are rare.
Recorded mintage: unknown.
Specification: silver; this specimen is 28.35 g.
