This specimen was lot 4363 in Künker sale 441 (Osnabrück, March 2026), where it sold for €1,300 (about US$1,789 including buyer's fees). The catalog description<sup>[1]</sup> noted, <blockquote>"''REUSS-SCHLEIZ, GRAFSCHAFT, SEIT 1806 FÜRSTENTUM Heinrich XII., 1744-1784. 2/3 Taler (1/2 Konv.-Taler) 1763, Saalfeld. RR Vorzüglich.'' ([[German States, Reuss|county of Reuss-Schleiz]], Henry XII, 1744-84, two-thirds thaler or half convention thaler of 1763, Saalfeld mint. Very rare, extremely fine.)"</blockquote> This one honors the peace of Hubertusburg, which ended the Seven Years War. The count also issued a [[Reuss-Schleiz 1763-ICE 1/6 thaler|1/6 thaler]], a [[Reuss-Schleiz 1763-ICE thaler Dav-2640|thaler]] and a [[Reuss-Schleiz 1763-ICE ducat Fr-2579|ducat]] for the occasion. Altho marked and valued at two-thirds thaler, it weighed only half a thaler, reflecting the drop in the value of the gulden.
