Sincona Auction 109, part of lot 3370

This specimen was part of lot 3370 in Sincona Auction 109 (Zürich, October 2026), where it sold for 650 CHF (about US$947 including buyers' fees). The catalog description[1] noted,

"RDR / ÖSTERREICH Maria Theresia, 1740-1780. 20 Kreuzer 1774, 1775, 1778, Wien. Münzmeister Johann August von Cronberg. Wardein Franz Aicherau. Lot von 3 Exemplaren. FDC. Prachtvolle Erhaltungen. Minimal justiert. (3). (Holy Roman Empire, Maria Theresia, 1740-80, twenty kreuzers of 1774, 1775 and 1778, all Vienna mint. Lot of three pieces, Mint State, Magnificent conditions, Tiny adjustment marks.)"

The SCWC states there should be an "A" mintmark on the obverse; while this is true for the twenty kreuzer with the bust of Joseph II, no such mintmark appears on this coin. The type was struck at Vienna for Maria Theresia 1767-80. One convention thaler was 120 kreuzer.

Recorded mintage: unknown.

Specification: 6.68 g, 0.583 fine silver, 28-29 mm diameter.

Catalog reference: KM 1999, Herinek 858.
