This specimen was lot 60 in Sincona sale 19 (Zürich, October 2014), where it sold for CHF 9,500 (about US$11,905 including buyer's fees). The catalog description^[1] noted, "Polupoltinnik 1713, Red Mint. Novodel. Very rare! Clipped planchet. Planchet defect. Magnificant brilliant uncirculated with attractive grey patina. Collector’s note: 'R. without G. FDC'." This type of 1713 is rare, which would explain why it was restruck for collectors. It is slightly overweight, a common feature of novodels.
