This specimen was lot 3047 in Künker sale 384 (Osnabrück, March 2023), where it sold for €420 (about US$543 including buyer's fees). The catalog description<sup>[1]</sup> noted, <blockquote>"''Franz Anton von Harrach, 1709-1727. 1/2 Reichstaler 1717. Ohne Stern (Stempelschneider P. H. Müller) unter dem Brustbild. R Sehr schön-vorzüglich. Exemplar der Auktion Bankhaus Partin 29, München 1989, Nr. 878.'' (archbishopric of [[Austria, Salzburg|Salzburg]], Francis Anthony of Harrach, 1709-27, half thaler of 1717, without star under the bust. Rare, very fine to 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 1715 and 1717. Franz Anton was the first archbishop in several generations to place his portrait on the coinage. The contemporary [[Salzburg 1715 1/2 thaler KM-310|KM 310]] is the traditional half thaler with the Madonna on the obverse. Bust and Madonna 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.
