Künker sale 293, lot 345

This specimen was lot 345 in Künker sale 293 (Osnabrück, Germany, July 2017), where it sold for €380 (about US$512 including buyer's fees). The catalog description[1] noted,

(Germany, kingdom of Prussia, Frederick II (the Great), 1740-86, sixth thaler of 1754, Breslau mint. Very scarce, especially in this quality. Fine patina, extremely fine to uncirculated.)"

This type was struck 1752-59 and 1763-64 from Berlin, Breslau (shown here), Cleve, Stettin, Magdeburg and Königsberg. Confusingly, the photo in the SCWC shows a reverse with "6 EINEN THALER" rather than "VI EINEN THALER".
