Jean Elsen sale 158, lot 676

This specimen was lot 676 in Jean Elsen sale 158 (Brussels, March 2024), where it sold for €850 (about US$1,105 including buyer's fees). The catalog description[1] noted,

"BRABANT, Duché, Marie-Thérèse (1740-1780), AR quart de ducaton, 1750, Anvers. D/ B. dr. et diad. à d. R/ Ecu couronné sur une croix de Bourgogne. Très Beau à Superbe. (duchy of Brabant, Maria Theresia, 1740-80, quarter ducaton of 1750, Antwerp mint. Obverse: draped and diademed bust right; reverse: crowned arms over a Burgundian cross. Very Fine - Extremely Fine.)"

This type is recorded for 1749-53 from Antwerp and Bruges and is doubtless rarer than the SCWC gives credit.

Reported Mintage: 1,136,000 for 1749-50.

Specification: silver; this specimen 8,28 g.

Catalog reference: KM 6, W. 1119; Delm-381; VH 816.
