Künker sale 384, lot 2553

This specimen was lot 2553 in Künker sale 384 (Osnabrück, March 2023), where it sold for €1,900 (about US$2,455 including buyer's fees). The catalog description[1] noted,

"Matthäus Lang von Wellenburg, 1519-1540. 1/3 Guldiner 1522. 8.81 g. Stempel von Ulrich Ursenthaler d. Ä. Probszt 225; Zöttl 227 (Type 4). Von großer Seltenheit. Henkelspur, Felder überarbeitet, sehr schön. (archbishopric of Salzburg, Matthäus Lang of Wellenburg, 1519-40, one-third guldiner of 1522, dies by Ulrich Ursenthaler. Extremely rare, mount mark, fields tooled, very fine.)"

Wikipedia comments,

"In the course of the Protestant Reformation Lang's adherence to the older faith, together with his pride and arrogance, made him very unpopular in his Salzburg diocese. As early as in 1523 he was involved in a serious struggle with his subjects in the City of Salzburg, and in 1525, during the German Peasants' War, he had again to fight hard to hold his own. Insurgents occupied the town of Hallein, devastated the archbishop's Burg Hohenwerfen and even laid siege to his residence at Hohensalzburg, until they were finally defeated with the aid of troops provided by the Swabian League."

Recorded mintage: unknown.

Specification: silver, this specimen 4.48 g.

Catalog reference: Probszt 235; Zöttl 237 (Type 2).
