The first specimen was lot 3221 in Sincona sale 43 (Zürich, October 2017), where it sold for 2,600 CHF (about US$3,103 including buyer's fees). The catalog description[1] noted,

"Regensburg, City, Dukat o. J. (1746-1751). Mit Titel Franz I. Sehr schön-vorzüglich. (Germany, city of Regensburg, undated ducat, struck in the name of Francis I, Very fine-extremely fine.)"

The second specimen was lot 5237 in Künker sale 354 (Osnabrück, Germany, September 2021), where it sold for €6,500 (about US$9,046 including buyer's fees). The catalog description[2] noted,

"REGENSBURG, STADT, Dukat o. J. (1745-1765), mit Titel von Franz I. GOLD. Selten in dieser Erhaltung. Feiner Prägeglanz, vorzüglich +. (Germany, city of Regensburg, undated ducat, struck in the name of Francis I. Scarce in this quality, fine luster, extremely fine or better.)"

The third specimen was lot 3231 in Künker sale 405 (Osnabrück, March 2024), where it sold for €26,000 (about US$34,115 including buyer's fees). The catalog description[1] noted,

"DIE REICHSSTADT REGENSBURG. DIE ZEIT DES KAISERS FRANZ I., 1745-1765. Goldmünzen aus der Zeit des Kaisers Franz I. Dukat o. J. (1745-1765), mit Titel von Franz I. Münzmeister Johann Christoph Busch. Stempel­schneider Johann Leonhard Oexlein. In US-Plastikholder der NGC mit der Bewertung MS 64 PL (6643582-011). GOLD. R Kl. Kratzer, vorzüglich-Stempelglanz.
