This specimen was lot 3210 in Sincona sale 43 (Zürich, October 2017), where it sold for 350 CHF (aboout US$418 including buyer's fees). The catalog description<sup>[1]</sup> noted, <blockquote>"''Köln, Erzbistum, Dietrich II. von Mörs, 1414-1463 Goldgulden o. J. (1425). Riel. Sehr schön. Flaue Stellen.'' ([[Germany]], archbishopric of Cologne, Dietrich II, 1414-63, undated goldgulden, Riel mint. Very fine, Weak areas.)"</blockquote> Both the city and the archbishop of Cologne (or Koln) issued gold ducats and it takes a keen eye to tell them apart. Friedberg notes this type as common.
