This specimen was lot 2997 in Künker sale 384 (Osnabrück, March 2023), where it sold for €260 (about US$336 including buyer's fees). The catalog description<sup>[1]</sup> noted, <blockquote>"''Johann Ernst von Thun und Hohenstein, 1687-1709. 1/2 Reichstaler 1703. Vorzüglich-Stempelglanz.'' (archbishopric of [[Austria, Salzburg|Salzburg]], John Ernest of Thun and Hohenstein, 1687-1709, half thaler of 1703. Extremely fine to uncirculated.)"</blockquote> The Archbishopric of Salzburg was an ecclesiastical state between Bavaria and Austria and usually ruled by a Hapsburg client. This type was struck 1687, 1694-95, 1698-1708 and is somewhat available. In the seventeenth century, Salzburg was blessed with a number of productive silver mines and the prince-archbishop was a prolific issuer of coins, particularly thalers. The archbishopric was secularized in 1803 and passed to [[Austria]] in 1813.
