This specimen was lot 804 in Steve Album Auction 55 (Santa Rosa, CA, May 2026), where it sold for $180. The catalog description[1] noted, "AUSTRIA: Francis I, 1804-1835, AR 20 kreuzer, 1829-B, Kremnica Mint, an attractive example, PCGS graded MS62." This type was struck at Vienna (mintmark A), Kremnitz (B, shown here), Prague (C) and Karlsburg (E) 1829-30 and is common. This denomination, one sixth of a convention thaler, was struck to this weight standard until 1852. Altho Kremnitz was in Hungary, we are calling this an Austrian coin as it is identical to the Vienna mint product.
