This specimen was lot 4219 in Künker sale 441 (Osnabrück, March 2026), where it sold for €1,700 (about US$2,339 including buyer's fees). The catalog description<sup>[1]</sup> noted, <blockquote>"''EINBECK, STADT Reichstaler 1628, mit Titel Ferdinands II. R Sehr schön +. Erworben 2000 von Udo Gans, Arnsberg.'' (city of Einbeck, thaler of 1628, struck in the name of Ferdinand II. Rare, very fine.)"</blockquote> The first thaler of this city appeared in 1618 and the last in 1659. Several were struck in 1624 (Dav-5238, -5239 and -5241) of which this is the least rare. It was struck 1624-28 and 1631. We don't know how the town was granted or usurped the mint right as it was always subject to the dukes of [[German States, Brunswick-Luneburg|Brunswick-Lüneburg]]. Staunchly Lutheran, like the rest of Brunswick, it was badly damaged during the Thirty Years War.

''Recorded mintage'': unknown.
