This specimen was lot 2901 in Künker sale 384 (Osnabrück, March 2023), where it sold for €1,400 (about US$1,809 including buyer's fees). The catalog description<sup>[1]</sup> noted, <blockquote>"''Max Gandolph von Küenburg, 1668-1687. Dukat 1672. GOLD. Fast vorzüglich. Erworben im August 1989 von der Partin Bank, Bad Mergentheim.'' (archbishopric of [[Austria, Salzburg|Salzburg]], Max Gandolph of Küenburg, 1668-87, ducat of 1672. About extremely fine.)"
 
<p>''In die Regierungszeit des Fürsterzbischofs Max Gandolf von Kuenburg fallen ab 1675 auch die Zauberbubenprozesse, in denen jugendliche Bettler der Hexerei beschuldigt, gefoltert und exekutiert wurden. Im Folgejahr nach dem Jubiläum entsandte der Fürsterzbischof 800 Soldaten sowie weiteres Kriegsmaterial und Geldmittel zum Entsatz der von den Türken belagerten Stadt Wien.'' (From 1675, during the reign of Prince Archbishop Max Gandolf von Kuenburg, the witchcraft trials also commenced, in which young beggars were accused of witchcraft, tortured and executed. In the year following the anniversary, the Prince Archbishop sent 800 soldiers as well as other war material and funds to relieve the city of Vienna besieged by the Turks.)"</p></blockquote> The Archbishopric of Salzburg was an ecclesiastical state between Bavaria and Austria and usually ruled by a Hapsburg client. This type was struck in 1668-87 along with a klippe version (Fr-814, struck 1668-69, 1672, 1674). In the seventeenth century, Salzburg was blessed with a number of productive silver mines and the prince-archbishop was a prolific issuer of coins, particularly thalers. The archbishopric was secularized in 1803 and passed to [[Austria]] in 1814.

This specimen was lot 4299 in Sincona sale 39 (Zürich, May 2017), where it sold for 200 CHF (about US$240 including buyer's fees). The catalog description[1] noted,
