This specimen was lot 1812 in Sincona sale 66 (Zürich, October 2020), where it sold for 1,400 CHF (about US$1,843 including buyer's fees). The catalog description[1] noted,
"HEILIGES ROMISCH REICH, Joseph I. 1705-1711. 1/6 Dukat 1711, Breslau. Stempelschneider Georg Hoffmann. Wardein Franz Nowack. Äusserst selten. Gutes vorzüglich. Leicht gewellt und kleine Druckstellen. (Austria, Joseph I, 1705-11, one-sixth ducat of 1711, Breslau mint. Extremely rare, Good extremely fine, Slightly wavy flan and minor pressure marks.)"
The Bishopric of Breslau was an ecclesiastical state in Silesia and usually ruled by a Hapsburg client from 1526 until its conquest by Frederick the Great in 1741. Breslau issued a long series of ducats and multiple ducats, all rare. This type is listed for 1706-11. The next issue of this denomination was in 1731.
