The first specimen was lot 3221 in Sincona sale 43 (Zurich, October 2017), where it sold for 2,600 CHF (about US$3,103 including buyer's fees). The catalog description<sup>[1]</sup> noted, <blockquote>"''Regensburg, City, Dukat o. J. (1746-1751). Mit Titel Franz I. Sehr schön-vorzüglich.'' ([[Germany]], city of Regensburg, undated ducat, struck in the name of Francis I, Very fine-extremely fine.)"</blockquote> The second specimen was lot 5237 in Künker sale 354 (Osnabruck, Germany, September 2021), where it sold for €6,500 (about US$9,046 including buyer's fees). The catalog description<sup>[2]</sup> noted, <blockquote>"''REGENSBURG, STADT, Dukat o. J. (1745-1765), mit Titel von Franz I. GOLD. Selten in dieser Erhaltung. Feiner Prägeglanz, vorzüglich +.'' ([[Germany]], German States, Regensburg|city of Regensburg]], undated ducat, struck in the name of Francis I. Scarce in this quality, fine luster, extremely fine or better.)"</blockquote> This gold ducat was one of a series (half ducat (Fr-2539), double ducat (Fr-2537), triple ducat (Fr-2536)) issued to honor the new emperor Franz I, husband of Maria Theresia of Austria. As Regensburg had supported his rival, Bavarian [[Regensburg (1742-45) ducat Fr-2515|Karl VII]], this may have be presented by way of atonement.

Sincona sale 43, lot 3221
Künker sale 354, lot 5237

The first specimen was lot 3221 in Sincona sale 43 (Zurich, October 2017), where it sold for 2,600 CHF (about US$3,103 including buyer's fees). The catalog description[1] noted,

"Regensburg, City, Dukat o. J. (1746-1751). Mit Titel Franz I. Sehr schön-vorzüglich. (Germany, city of Regensburg, undated ducat, struck in the name of Francis I, Very fine-extremely fine.)"

The second specimen was lot 5237 in Künker sale 354 (Osnabruck, Germany, September 2021), where it sold for €6,500 (about US$9,046 including buyer's fees). The catalog description[2] noted,

"REGENSBURG, STADT, Dukat o. J. (1745-1765), mit Titel von Franz I. GOLD. Selten in dieser Erhaltung. Feiner Prägeglanz, vorzüglich +. (Germany, city of Regensburg, undated ducat, struck in the name of Francis I. Scarce in this quality, fine luster, extremely fine or better.)"

This gold ducat was one of a series (half ducat (Fr-2539), double ducat (Fr-2537), triple ducat (Fr-2536)) issued to honor the new emperor Franz I, husband of Maria Theresia of Austria. As Regensburg had supported his rival, Bavarian Karl VII, this may have be presented by way of atonement.
