This specimen was lot 5343 in Sincona sale 68 (Zurich, October 2020), where it sold for 2,200 CHF (about US$2,896 including buyer's fees). The catalog description[1] noted,
"SWITZERLAND | Grisons | Chur, Bistum, Johann V. Flugi von Aspermont, 1601-1627. Halbbatzen 1624, Chur. Seltene Variante der Vorderseite mit MO . NO . EPISCOPI . CVR . 1624 {, anstelle des Bischofsnamen. Sehr selten. Fast sehr schön. (bishopric of Chur, Johann V. Flugi von Aspermont, 1601-27, half batzen of 1624, Chur mint. Rare variety. Very rare, About very fine.)"
Two kreuzer made half a batzen. While this issue is rare, later half batzen from Chur are quite a bit more available. Chur, among with the rest of Switzerland, left the Empire in 1648 as part of the Treaty of Westphalia which ended the Thirty Years War. The city arms feature a leaping ibex.
