This specimen was lot 3043 in Künker sale 384 (Osnabrück, March 2023), where it sold for €220 (about US$284 including buyer's fees). The catalog description<sup>[1]</sup> noted, <blockquote>"''Franz Anton von Harrach, 1709-1727. 1/2 Reichstaler 1709. Glatter Rand. R Hübsche Patina, vorzüglich.'' (archbishopric of [[Austria, Salzburg|Salzburg]], Francis Anthony of Harrach, 1709-27, half thaler of 1709. Rare, nice patina, extremely fine.)"</blockquote> The Archbishopric of Salzburg was an ecclesiastical state between Bavaria and Austria and usually ruled by a Hapsburg client. This type was struck 1712, 1715, 1718, 1720 and 1725. Franz Anton was the first archbishop in several generations to place his portrait on the coinage. This one, however, is the traditional half thaler with the Madonna on the obverse. Bust and St. Rupert half thalers are both quite scarce and are priced higher than the thalers. 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.
