This specimen was lot 71452 in Stack's Bowers Collector's Choice sale (Santa Ana, CA, October 2019), where it sold for $144. The catalog description[1] noted, "GERMANY. Ulm. 5 Kreuzer, 1767-FH. NGC MS-65. Wide shield variety. An exceptional Gem, this brilliantly lustrous minor offers incredible radiance and is the finest in the NGC census for the wide shield variety. The Brand specimen, a narrow shield variety, is also an NGC MS-65." The regular issues of this imperial city in the eighteenth century are scanty and include no large silver coins beloved of collectors. The town was annexed to Bavaria in 1803 but passed to Wurttemberg in 1809, where we have filed it.
