This specimen was lot 74156 in Stack's Bowers Collector's Choice sale (Costa Mesa, CA, February 2024), where it sold for $168. The catalog description[1] noted, "AUSTRIA. 3 Kreuzer, 1674. Hall Mint. Leopold I. PCGS MS-63. Well-struck and lustrous." In 1674, this denomination was struck at Hall (shown here), Graz and Vienna. The Hall mint struck this type 1667-90 without interruption.
