This specimen was lot 2544 in Sincona sale 26 (Zurich, October 2015), where it sold for 200 CHF (about US$247 including buyer's fees). The catalog description<sup>[1]</sup> noted, <blockquote>"''Maria Theresia, 1740-1780 Dukaton 1750. Brügge. Sehr schön.'' (Austrian Netherlands, Maria Theresia, 1740-80, ducaton of 1750, Bruges mint. very fine)"</blockquote> This type was struck in 1749-54 at Antwerp ([[Austrian Netherlands 1750-R ducaton Dav-1280|Dav-1280]]) and Bruges during the reign of Maria Theresia. The ducaton denomination was a holdover from Spanish rule in the seventeenth century and was replaced by the kronenthaler minted at Brussels in 1755. The [[Austria]]ns lost [[Belgium]] to Revolutionary [[France]] in 1797. After the fall of Napoleon in 1815, Belgium passed to the king of the [[Netherlands]].
