This specimen was lot 2891 in Sincona sale 77 (Zurich, May 2022), where it sold for 400 CHF (about US$486 including buyer's fees). The catalog description[1] noted,
"HOLY ROMAN EMPIRE - AUSTRIA. Ferdinand II. 1619-1637. 48-Kipper Kreuzer 1621, Brünn. Münzmeister Hans Pecs, 1621-1622. Rückseitenumschrift mit BVR-MO.MA. Sehr schön. Prägeschwäche. (Austria, Ferdinand II, 1619-37, 48 kipper kreuzer of 1621, Brunn mint. Very fine, Weakly struck.)"
Kipper 48 kreuzer were struck at Brünn, Klagenfurt, Olmutz, St.-Veit, Vienna, Graz and Hall for the Hapsburg Ferdinand II. Altho nominally a two-thirds thaler, it is too light and is probably debased as well, being an inflationary issue (1620-24) of the Thirty Years War, along with six, 15, 24, 30, 48, 60, 75, 120, 150 and 300 groschen. Once the kipper period was over, there was a concerted effort to recall and melt down the debased issues, accounting for their rarity today.
Recorded mintage: unknown.
Specification: silver, this specimen 9.22 g.
Catalog reference: KM 311, Herinek 862a var. KM 312, also listed for Brünn, is a klippe.
