Sincona sale 46, lot 130
Künker sale 353, lot 3798

The first specimen was lot 130 in Sincona sale 46 (Zürich, May 2018), where it sold for 12,500 CHF (about US$14,999 including buyer's fees). The catalog description[1] noted,

"Brandenburg/Prussia, Friedrich II. 1740-1786. Goldabschlag von den Stempeln des 6-Gröschers 1763 E, Königsberg. Brustbild mit Harnisch und Ordensband mit Kreuz nach rechts. Rv. Zepter zwischen zwei Adlerschilden, oben die Krone über der Wertzahl VI, unten Münzzeichen E zwischen der geteilten Jahreszahl 17 - 63. In Königsberg wurden ausser den Goldabschlägen keine anderen Goldmünzen geprägt. Minimale Probierspur am Rand, sehr schön-vorzüglich/Minimal test mark on edge, very fine-extremely fine. Fehlte in der Slg. Killisch von Horn. Von grösster Seltenheit. (Germany, kingdom of Prussia, Frederick II, 1740-86, off metal strike in gold of a six groschen of 1763, Königsberg mint. This is the only gold issue of this mint in this period. Obverse: armored bust with sash and cross to right; reverse: scepter between two eagle shields, crown above, denomination and mintmark dividing the date. Of the highest rarity.)"

The second specimen was lot 3798 in Künker sale 353 (Osnabrück, Germany, September 2021), where it sold for €140 (about US$195 including buyer's fees). The catalog description[2] noted,

"BRANDENBURG-PREUSSEN, PREUSSEN, KÖNIGREICH, Friedrich II. der Große, 1740-1786. 6-Gröscher 1763, E, Königsberg. Prägung während des Siebenjährigen Krieges. Fast vorzüglich. Exemplar der Auktion Berliner Münz-Cabinet 11, Berlin 1980, Nr. 605. (Germany, kingdom of Prussia, Frederick II the Great, 1740-86, six groscher of 1763, Königsberg mint, struck during the Seven Years War, about extremely fine.)"

This example may have been struck to celebrate the liberation of East Prussia from Russian occupation during the Seven Years War.

Recorded mintage: 21,421,145 (including A300 ("ARGENTEA")).

Specification: silver, 23-22 mm diameter, the first specimen gold, 5.72 g. The second specimen is 2,63 g.
