This specimen was lot 3088 in Sincona sale 23 (Zurich, May 2015), where it sold for 425 CHF (about US$534 including buyer's fees). The catalog description<sup>[1]</sup> noted, <blockquote>"''Olmütz, Bistum, Wolfgang von Schrattenbach, 1711-1738 Taler 1714/13. Kremsier. Fast vorzüglich-vorzüglich.'' (bishopric of Olmutz, Wolfgang of Schrattenbach (1711-38), thaler of 1714, Kremsier mint, extremely fine or better.)"</blockquote> This two-year type is among the commoner issues from this ecclesiastical state in Moravia, then part of [[Austria]], now the Czech Republic. For 1714, only the overdate is recorded. Later thalers from the 1720's are listed quite inexpensively.
