This specimen was lot 36 in Künker Auction 423 (Osnabrück, July 2025), where it sold for €3,800 (about US$5,381 including buyers' fees). The catalog description[1] noted,
"HABSBURGISCHE ERBLANDE-ÖSTERREICH · RÖMISCH-DEUTSCHES REICH, Erzherzog Ferdinand, 1564-1595. Guldentaler (60 Kreuzer) 1567, Mühlau. Geprägt zur Huldigung in Hall. Geharnischtes Hüftbild r. mit Erzherzogshut, mit der Rechten das Zepter schulternd, die Linke am Schwertgriff, unten die Wertzahl 60//Gekrönter Tiroler Adler, oben Ehrenkranz mit der Jahreszahl I567. Von großer Seltenheit. Sehr schön/vorzüglich. Exemplar der Auktion Lanz 122, München 2004, Nr. 122 (Holy Roman Empire, archduke Ferdinand, 1564-95, guldenthaler or sixty kreuzer of 1567, Mühlau. Minted for the homage of Hall. Obverse: capped and armored half-length bust right, holding a scepter and sword, the value below; reverse: crowned Tyrolean eagle with date in wreath above. Extremely rare, very fine to extremely fine.)"
At this time, the gulden or sixty kreuzer was five-sixths of a thaler. Altho Hall in Tyrol claims to be the site of the first mechanized mint, that honor seems to belong to Mühlau, now a suburb of Innsbruck, where an experimental mint was set up in 1566.
