Sincona sale 66, lot 1982

This specimen was lot 1982 in Sincona sale 66 (Zurich, October 2020), where it sold for 1,700 CHF (about US$2,238 including buyer's fees). The catalog description[1] noted,

"Salzburg, Erzbistum, Johann Jakob Khüen von Belasi, 1560-1586. 2 Dukaten 1562. Gutes sehr schön. (Germany, archbishopric of Salzburg, John Jacob Khüen von Belasi, 1560-1586, double ducat of 1562. Good very fine.)"

Recorded mintage: unknown.
