This specimen was lot 2602 in Künker sale 384 (Osnabrück, March 2023), where it sold for €1,300 (about US$1,680 including buyer's fees). The catalog description[1] noted,
"Johann Jakob Khuen von Belasi, 1560-1586. 2 Dukaten 1564. GOLD. Winz. Probierspur am Rand, sehr schön. (archbishopric of Salzburg, John Jacob Khuen of Belasi, 1560-86, double ducat of 1564. Minor tooling on the edge, very fine.)"
The Archbishopric of Salzburg was an ecclesiastical state between Bavaria and Austria and usually ruled by a Hapsburg client. This type is listed for 1561-67. While not cheap, it is the first double ducat not astronomically priced. In the seventeenth century, Salzburg was blessed with a number of productive silver mines and the prince-archbishop was a prolific issuer of coins, particularly thalers. The archbishopric was secularized in 1803 and passed to Austria in 1814.
