Künker sale 293, lot 1638

This specimen was lot 1638 in Künker sale 293 (Osnabrück, Germany, July 2017), where it sold for €480 (about US$647 including buyer's fees). The catalog description[1] noted,

"RÖMISCH-DEUTSCHES REICH, Franz I. 1745-1765. 17 Kreuzer 1765, A/NB, Nagybánya. Posthume Prägung. Vorzüglich. (Holy Roman Empire, Francis I, 1745-65, seventeen kreuzer of 1761, Nagybánya mint, posthumous issue. Extremely fine.)"

We don't know what prompted the issue of this denomination, which competed with contemporary ten, fifteen and twenty kreuzer, but various types were issued 1751-65 from Vienna, Prague, Nagybanya (shown here), Kremnitz, Karlsburg, Hall and Graz. Seventeen kreuzer with the bust of Maria Theresia also exist from Vienna (KM 1782), Graz and Hall.

Recorded mintage: unknown.

Specification: 6.12 g, .542 fine silver, .106 troy oz ASW.

Catalog reference: KM 2026.1, Herinek 414.
