This specimen was lot 3718 in Künker sale 353 (Osnabrück, Germany, September 2021), where it sold for €45 (about US$63 including buyer's fees). The catalog description[1] noted,

Mit Kleeblatt zwischen 2 Weinblättern im Abschnitt der Vorderseite. Sehr schön. Erworben am 2.11.1982. (Germany, kingdom of Prussia, Frederick II the Great, 1740-86, copper quarter stuiver of 1754, Cleve mint, struck for the western provinces, with a clover leaf between grape leaves on the obverse.
