This specimen was lot 1494 in Sincona sale 18 (Zurich, May 2014), where it sold for CHF 550 (about US$725 including buyer's fees). The catalog description[1] noted,
"Taler 1554. Annaberg Fast vorzüglich-vorzüglich. (Germany, electorate of Saxony, thaler of 1554, Annaberg mint, extremely fine.)"

Recorded mintage: unknown but fairly common.
Specification: silver.
