This specimen was lot 3767 in Sincona sale 64 (Zürich, June 2020), where it sold for 200 CHF (about US$251 including buyer's fees). The catalog description[1] noted,
"SWITZERLAND | Zurich | Stadt und Kanton. 20 Batzen 1813, Zürich. 14.66 g. Vorzüglich. (city and canton of Zurich, twenty batzen of 1813, Zurich mint. Extremely fine.)"
Twenty batzen was supposed to be half a thaler but this example seems a little light. A very similar issue of 1813 (KM 187) bears a mintmark "B".
Recorded mintage: unknown.
Specification: silver, this specimen 9.94 g.
Catalog reference: KM 186, D.T. 19a, HMZ 2-1173a.
