This specimen was lot 2251 in Künker sale 439 (Osnabrück, March 2026), where it sold for €1,300 (about US$1,789 including buyer's fees). The catalog description<sup>[1]</sup> noted, <blockquote>"''RÖMISCH-DEUTSCHES REICH, Ferdinand I., 1522-1558-1564. Dukat 1564, Wien. 3,45 g Mit FER · D · G · RO · IM · S · A - V - G : GER · HV · B : RE - X auf der Vorderseite und · S · LADISLAVS · H · REX · I564 · auf der Rückseite. Fr-36; Markl 21 var.; M. z. A.
