Sincona sale 91, lot 3512

This specimen was lot 3512 in Sincona sale 91 (Zürich, May 2024), where it sold for 1,200 CHF (about US$1,586 including buyer's fees). The catalog description[1] noted,

"SCHWEIZ St. Gallen, Beda Angehrn von Hagenwil, 1767-1796. Batzen 1782, Münzstätte des Klosters. Selten in dieser Erhaltung. Vorzüglich. (Switzerland, canton of St. Gall, Beda Angehrn von Hagenwil, 1767-1796, batzen of 1782, struck inside the abbey. Rare in this condition, Extremely fine.)"

The abbey struck coins until 1783; the city continued coinage after the French occupation until confederation. This type was struck 1780 and 1782 and is rather expensive. It is often catalogued as a batzen altho the coin is denominated "4 KREUZER". The canton of St. Gall issued almost no coinage between 1739 and 1786.

Recorded mintage: unknown.

Specification: billon, this specimen 2.20 g.

Catalog reference: KM 31, D.T. 855b, HMZ 2-877c.
