Other than what it says and that it's a 6 ducat -

 

" 20.82 grams, 43.30 mm. City view of Nurnberg, legends below / Peace standing, cherubs with shields flanking, legends around include chronogram date. Impressive lustre on bright yellow surfaces, hints of light toning here and there. A famous and popular city view issue, struck to commemorate the 1697 Treaty of Ryswick. "

 

No I cannot add anything except that it is rare. And yes they are auctioning it - starting bid $4200 - expected to realize $7000 - $12000. I'll bet that's low.
