This specimen was lot 4781 in Künker sale 406 (Osnabruck, March 2024), where it sold for €340 (about US$446 including buyer's fees). The catalog description[1] noted,
"NIEDERLANDE, ZEELAND, Provinz. 1/2 Reichstaler 1591. Schrötlingsfehler, sehr schön. (Netherlands, province of Zeeland, half daalder of 1591. Planchet defects, very fine.)"
This type was struck 1609, 1614-19, 1623-25, 1628-29, 1632-41 and 1645-53. While not rare in low grade, because of its crude fabric this half daalder is quite scarce in nice condition.
Recorded mintage: unknown.
Specification: 13.84 g, 0.750 fine silver, this specimen 14.05 g.
