This specimen was lot 3834 in Sincona sale 9 (Zurich, October 2012), where it sold for 20,000 CHF (about US$25,296 including buyer's fees). The catalog description<sup>[1]</sup> noted, <blockquote>"''DEUTSCHLAND Regensburg, Stadt Doppeldukat o. J. (1742-1745). CAROL. VII D. G. - R. I. S. A. Belorbeertes und geharnischtes Brustbild Karl VII. nach r., im Abschnitt OEXL (Christoph Daniel Oexlein, Stempelschneider in Regensburg, 1719-1779). Rv. MONETA REIPUBL: - RATISPONENSIS. Stadtwappen in Kartusche, oben Muschel, unten Engelskopf; im Wappenschild Initialen ICB (Johann Christoph Busch, Münzmeister in Regensburg, 1741-1766). Sehr selten. Vorzüglich.'' ([[Germany]], city of Regensburg, double ducat without date (1742-45), in the name of Charles VI; obverse: laureate, armored bust of the emperor, engraver's initials below ('OEXL' for Daniel Oexlein); reverse: city arms in cartouche, angel's head below, mintmaster's initials ('ICB', for Johann Christoph Busch) at the bottom of the shield; very rare, extremely fine.)"</blockquote> Like most double ducats of the period, this issue is rare. Regensburg later passed to Bavaria. Single ducats ([[Regensburg (1742-45) ducat Fr-2515|Fr-2515]]) and ten ducats ([[Regensburg (1742)-ICB 10 ducats Fr-2510|Fr-2510]]) also exists with the portrait of Karl VII. 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.

''Recorded mintage:'' unknown but rare.

''Specification:'' 7 g, .986 fine gold, .221 troy oz AGW, this specimen 6.97 g.
