This specimen was lot 4424 in Künker sale 335 (Osnabruck, Germany, March 2020), where it sold for €42,000 (about US$54,961 including buyer's fees). The catalog description<sup>[1]</sup> noted, <blockquote>"''WALLENSTEIN, Albrecht, 1623-1634, Herzog von Friedland. Reichstaler 1627, Jitschin.

Obverse: armored, mantled bust almost facing with a large collar, privy mark below; reverse: capped arms with a crowned eagle supporting quartered arms, scrollwork at the sides of the shield. Rare, attractive example with handsome patina, very fine or better.)"</blockquote> Wallenstein was born into the minor Protestant nobility of [[Bohemia]] but converted to Catholicism while attending university in Italy. Seeking glory, he pursued a military career and eventually became the commander of the imperial troops during the Thirty Years War. His successes against the Protestants aroused the suspicion of the emperor and he was dismissed in 1630. He retired to his duchy of Friedland in northern Bohemia. Imperial defeats at the hands of Gustavus Adolphus forced the emperor to recall him but distrust of his loyalty remained. He was assassinated by his officers with the emperor's connivance in 1634. He issued thalers 1626-33, all rare. After Wallenstein's death, the duchy subsided into insignificance and no more coins were issued.
