This specimen was lot 2493 in Künker sale 404 (Osnabruck, March 2024), where it sold for €280 (about US$367 including buyer's fees). The catalog description<sup>[1]</sup> noted, <blockquote>"''DAS ERZBISTUM MAINZ. ERZBISCHOF EMMERICH JOSEPH VON BREIDBACH-BÜRRESHEIM, 1763-1774. Die Münzstätte Mainz. ½ Konv.-Taler 1766, Mainz.

([[Germany]], [[German States, Mainz|archbishopric of Mainz]], Emmerich Joseph of Breidbach-Bürresheim, 1763-74, half thaler of 1766, Mainz mint. Obverse: bust right in episcopal mantle, initials below; reverse: capped arms of Mainz and Breidbach in adjacent cartouches, crossed sword and crozier behind, value below, lettered edge. Very fine.)"</blockquote> Emmerich Joseph von Breidbach zu Bürresheim (1707-74) was also bishop of Worms after 1768. He is noted for implementing educational reform in his diocese. A considerable variety of low denomination coins exists for his reign. The thaler, which had been ninety kreuzer in the seventeenth century, was raised to 120 kreuzer in the eighteenth century and renamed from reichsthaler to [[Mainz 1766-A FB thaler Dav-2425|convention thaler]]. The gulden remained sixty kreuzer and so became half a thaler from two-thirds.
