This specimen was lot 3388 in Künker Auction 426 (Osnabrück, July 2025), where it sold for €800 (about US$1,133 including buyers' fees). The catalog description<sup>[1]</sup> noted, <blockquote>"''BRANDENBURG-PREUSSEN. PREUSSEN, KÖNIGREICH Friedrich II., der Große, 1740-1786. Reichstaler preuß. 1767 A, Berlin. Seltener Jahrgang. Vorzüglich.'' (kingdom of Prussia, Frederick II (the Great), 1740-86, thaler of 1767, Berlin mint. Rare date, extremely fine.)"</blockquote> This type was struck at Berlin, Breslau (shown here) and Königsberg 1764-74. These coins saw hard use and are frequently found heavily worn. As they were only 0.750 fine, they were spent and the issues of other principalities hoarded. Frederick the Great emerged victorious from the Seven Years War but it was a very near thing, with only the death of the empress Elizabeth in 1761 saving Prussia from utter destruction. The SCWC does not award this date a premium.
