This specimen was lot 1632 in Sincona sale 22 (Zürich, May 2015), where it sold for 180 CHF (about US$226 including buyer's fees). The catalog description[1] noted,
"Sachsen, ab 1547 Kurfürstentum, Christian II., Johann Georg und August unter Vormundschaft, 1591-1611 Taler 1597. Dresden. Gutes sehr schön. (Germany, electorate of Saxony, Christian II, John George and Augustus under regency (1591-1611), thaler of 1597, Dresden mint, good very fine.)"
This type was struck in 1592-1601 for dukes Christian II, Johann Georg and August of Saxony.
