This specimen was lot 4331 in SINCONA Auction 98 (Zürich, May 2025), where it sold for 150 CHF (about US$218 including buyers' fees). The catalog description[1] noted,
"SCHWEIZ Obwalden, Halbbatzen 1726, Sarnen. Avers mit Umschriftfehler SVERIORIS (sic.). Selten in dieser Erhaltung. Sehr schön-fast vorzüglich. Schrötlingsfehler am Rand. Exemplar der Slg. Froidevaux, Auktion SINCONA 6, Zürich, Mai 2012, aus Los 2511. (Switzerland, half canton of Obwalden, haf batzen of 1726, Sarnen mint. Obverse with misspelled "SVERIORIS" in legend. Rare in this condition, Very Fine-About Extremely Fine, Flan flaw on edge.)"
Unterwalden was one of the three original cantons forming the Swiss Confederation in 1291. Far from the main channels of commerce, her coinage is scanty and rare. Unterwalden was divided into the "half cantons" of Obwalden and Nidwalden. This type was struck 1726-28. Half a batzen was two kreuzer or 1/60 of a convention thaler.
Recorded mintage: unknown.
Specifications: 1.7 g, billon, 23 mm diameter, this specimen 1.76 g.
