This specimen was lot 1014 in Sincona sale 63 (Zurich, June 2020), where it sold for 250 CHF (about US$313 including buyer's fees). The catalog description<sup>[1]</sup> noted, <blockquote>"''FRANCE | Strassburg/Strasbourg, Stadt, 1/2 Ecu aux insignes 1702 BB, Strasbourg. Réformation. Selten. Sehr schön.''
