This specimen was lot 2063 in SINCONA Auction 97 (Zürich, May 2025), where it sold for 1,700 CHF (about US$2,466 including buyers' fees). The catalog description[1] noted,

"RDR / ÖSTERREICH, Franz Joseph I. 1848-1916. 4 Dukaten 1865 A, Wien. Sehr schön. Kratzer und Randfehler. (empire of Austria, Francis Joseph I, 1848-1916, quadruple ducat of 1865, Vienna mint. Very Fine, Scratches and edge nicks.)"
