This specimen was lot 3034 in Sincona sale 43 (Zürich, October 2017), where it sold for 275 CHF (aboout US$328 including buyer's fees). The catalog description<sup>[1]</sup> noted, <blockquote>"''Stände von Mähren und Schlesien, 1621-1623 Kipper-24 Kreuzer 1622. Breslau. Selten. Gutes sehr schön.'' (Estates of Moravia-Silesia, 1621-23, kipper 24 kreuzer of 1622, Breslau mint. Rare, Good very fine.)"</blockquote> This rare 24 kreuzer was minted 1622-24 only. The shortsighted overissue of kipper coinage created a brief inflationary bubble in [[Germany]] 1619-24. After it burst, the debased coinage was called in and melted, accounting for its rarity today.
