This specimen was lot 3213 in Künker sale 405 (Osnabruck, March 2024), where it sold for €6,000 (about US$7,873 including buyer's fees). The catalog description<sup>[1]</sup> noted, <blockquote>"''DIE REICHSSTADT REGENSBURG. DIE ZEIT DES ÖSTERREICHISCHEN ERBFOLGEKRIEGES UND DES KAISERS KARL VII., 1740-1745. Goldmünzen aus der Zeit des Kaisers Karl VII. ½ Dukat o. J. (1742-1745), mit Titel Karls VII. Münzmeister Johann Christoph Busch. GOLD. Von großer Seltenheit. Prachtexemplar. Kl. Kratzer, vorzüglich-Stempelglanz.'' ([[German States, Regensburg|city of Regensburg]], undated half ducat, circa 1742-45, struck in the name of Charles VII. Extremely rare, cabinet example, light scratches, extremely fine to uncirculated.)"</blockquote> The campaign of Karl VII of Bavaria represented the last serious attempt to take the increasingly worthless imperial crown away from the Hapsburgs. Two generations later, in 1806, Napoleon would abolish the Holy Roman Empire and nobody would lift a sword in its defense. Regensburg, completely surrounded by Bavarian territory, had little choice but to strike coinage in the pretender's name. Other half ducats for Charles VII include [[Regensburg (1740-45) 1/2 ducat Fr-2516|Fr-2516]], with a city view replacing the arms shown here. This example realized over six times the catalog value.
