This specimen was lot 1018 in Sincona sale 90 (Zurich, May 2024), where it sold for 8,500 CHF (about US$11,232 including buyer's fees). The catalog description<sup>[1]</sup> noted, <blockquote>"''DEUTSCHLAND Breslau, Stadt, Dukat 1540, Breslau. Selten. Vorzüglich-FDC. Überdurchschnittliche Erhaltung. Exemplar der Auktion Gorny & Mosch 127, München, Oktober 2003, Los 4419.'' ([[Germany]], [[German States, Breslau|city of Breslau]], ducat of 1540, Breslau mint. Rare, Extremely fine-uncirculated, Extraordinary condition.)"</blockquote> This type is listed in Friedberg for 1531-60. Breslau issued coins in the name of the city (as here), the bishop and the emperor. The Hapsburgs acquired Silesia in 1526 as part of the Bohemian inheritance, the king having died fighting the Turks. It took them over a century to consolidate their control of the province, which had turned mostly Lutheran, and many local lords and towns continued to mint coins.
