The first specimen was lot 40125 in Ponterio sale 168 (Philadelphia, August 2012), where it sold for $2,585. The catalog description[1] noted, "GERMANY. Nassau-Weilburg-Usingen. Ducat, 1809. NGC MS-62. Demarete Collection." The second specimen was lot 1985 in Künker sale 352 (Osnabruck, Germany, September 2021), where it sold for €3,000 (about US$4,175 including buyer's fees).

(Germany, duchy of Nassau, joint coinage of Frederick Augustus of Usingen, 1803-16, and Frederick William of Weilburg, 1806-16, ducat of 1809. Choice example, about extremely fine.)"
