This specimen was lot 2966 in Sincona sale 23 (Zurich, May 2015), where it did not sell. The catalog description[1] noted,
"RDR/ÖSTERREICH, Erzherzog Ferdinand II. 1564-1595 Doppeltaler o. J. Hall. Selten. Gutes sehr schön. (Austria, archduke Ferdinand II (1564-95), double thaler without date, Hall mint, rare, good very fine.)"Davenport notes a considerable number of thalers and multiple thalers struck for the archduke, Dav-8088 thru Dav-8103, all without dates. This type is noted as a posthumous pattern, so we have attributed it to the year 1595.
