This specimen was lot 1952 in Künker sale 352 (Osnabruck, Germany, September 2021), where it sold for €8,500 (about US$11,830 including buyer's fees). The catalog description[1] noted,
"KÖLN, ERZBISTUM, Clemens August von Bayern, 1723-1761. Dukat 1750, Bonn. Ehrengeschenk des Deutschen Ordens für den Kurfürsten anläßlich seines 50. Geburtstags. GOLD. Von großer Seltenheit. Winz. Druckstellen, vorzüglich. Erworben 1958 bei der Firma Julius Jenke, München. (Germany, archbishopric of Cologne, Clement Augustus of Bavaria, 1723-61, ducat of 1750, Bonn mint. A gift from the Teutonic Order for the Elector on the occasion of his 50th birthday. Extremely rare, minor punch mark, extremely fine. Bought from Julius Jenke in 1958.)"

The archbishop issued three different ducats (KM 145, KM 146, KM 147) in 1750, presumably all for the same occasion.
