This specimen was lot 5929 in Künker sale 354 (Osnabruck, Germany, September 2021), where it sold for €340 (about US$473 including buyer's fees). The catalog description[1] noted,
"WESTPHALEN, KÖNIGREICH, Hieronymus Napoleon, 1807-1813. Gulden 1811, C. Ausbeute. Winz. Randfehler, fast vorzüglich. (Germany, kingdom of Westphalia, Jerome Napoleon, 1807-13, gulden of 1811, for the mines. Minor edge defects, about extremely fine.)"
The kingdom of Westphalia was a puppet state set up by Napoleon to enforce the Continental System (no trading with Great Britain) in north Germany. When Jerome, Napoleon's brother, started showing signs of thinking independently, he was deposed and the kingdom annexed to France. At the Congress of Vienna, the area was restored to its former lords, Hannover and Prussia. This type was struck 1811-13 at the Cassel mint. Another gulden or 2/3 thaler was struck in 1811 for regular circulation (KM 117). The thalers of 1811 (Dav-933, -934) are rare.
