"REGENSBURG, STADT, 5 Dukaten o. J. mit Titel Josefs II. Slg. Bach (Auktion Künker 238) -. GOLD. Fassungsspuren, sehr schön. (Germany, city of Regensburg, undated quintuple ducat, struck in the name of Joseph II. Mount mark, very fine.)"
Regensburg retained the quaint habit of not dating her coinage, to the annoyance of modern collectors.
