This specimen was lot 4195 in Künker sale 406 (Osnabruck, March 2024), where it sold for €14,000 (about US$18,370 including buyer's fees). The catalog description<sup>[1]</sup> noted, <blockquote>"''FREIBURG, STADT, Dicken 1503. Adlerkopf l.//Madonna mit dem Kind v. v. auf Thron sitzend. Von großer Seltenheit. Attraktives Exemplar mit hübscher Patina, sehr schön +. Exemplar der Slg. Jäger, Auktion Helbing, München 1927, Nr. 394 und der Auktion Leu 74, Zürich 1998, Nr. 964.'' (city of Freiburg, dicken of 1503. Obverse: eagle's head left; reverse: Madonna and Child enthroned. Extremely rare, attractive example with handsome patina, choice very fine.)"</blockquote> Freiburg, north of Basel and east of the Rhine, was the chief town of the [[Austria]]n province of Breisgau. In 1803, Napoleon handed it over to his ally, the grand duke of [[German States, Baden-Durlach|Baden]], whose possession it remained until the collapse of the Wilhelmine empire in 1918.
