This specimen was lot 3980 in Sincona sale 18 (Zürich, May 2014), where it sold for CHF 3,000 (about US$3,953 including buyer's fees). The catalog description[1] noted,
"Taler 1593. Vorzüglich-fast vorzüglich. (Transylvania, thaler of 1593, extremely fine or better.)"
The princes of Transylvania were sandwiched between the Ottoman Empire to the south and the Hapsburg dominions to the west and attempted to maintain independence from both. The Hapsburgs reconquered Hungary from the Turks in the 1680's and ended Transylvanian autonomy.
Recorded mintage: unknown.
