This specimen was lot 601 in Jean Elsen sale 124 (Brussels, March 2015), where it sold for €1,800 (about US$2,245 including buyer's fees). The catalog description[1] noted,
"BRABANT, Duché, Marie-Thérèse (1740-1780), AR quart de ducaton, 1751, Anvers. Droit: B. drapé et diad. à droite, avec pendant d'oreille. Revers: Ecu couronné sur une croix de Bourgogne.

Obverse: draped and diademed bust to right with earring; reverse: crowned arms of the Burgundian cross. Rare in this quality, extremely fine to uncirculated.)"
This type is recorded for 1749-53 and is doubtless rarer than the SCWC gives credit.
