This specimen was lot 3936 in Künker sale 353 (Osnabruck, Germany, September 2021), where it sold for €35 (about US$49 including buyer's fees). The catalog description[1] noted,

Zainende, sehr schön-vorzüglich. Exemplar der Auktion UBS 53, Basel 2002, Nr. 622 (Lot). (Germany, kingdom of Prussia, Frederick William II, 1786-97, batzen (4 kreuzer) of 1792, Neuchatel mint, struck for the principality of Neuchatel. Clipped, very fine to extremely fine.)"
