Goldberg Sale 137, lot 1458

This specimen was lot 1458 in Goldberg Sale 137 (Los Angeles, January 2024), where it sold for $144. The catalog description^[1] noted, "Bohemia. 6 Kreuzer, 1733. Charles VI. Laureate bust right. Reverse: Crowned imperial eagle. Toned. PCGS graded AU-55."

The type seems to be common. Its face value was one tenth of a gulden.
