This specimen was lot 2348 in Künker sale 439 (Osnabrück, March 2026), where it sold for €750 (about US$1,032 including buyer's fees).

(first republic of [[Austria]], 1918-38, twenty-five schilling of 1928, Vienna mint. extremely fine to uncirculated.)"</blockquote> The SCWC, which lists this type for 1926-34, does not price this coin except in uncirculated, suggesting that it spent its life in bank vaults before entering the collector market.
