This specimen was lot 6101 in Künker sale 386 (Osnabrück, March 2023), where it sold for €4,400 (about US$5,686 including buyer's fees). The catalog description<sup>[1]</sup> noted, <blockquote>"''MONTFORT, GRAFSCHAFT, Ernst, 1730-1758. Karolin 1735, Langenargen. GOLD. R Winz. Schrötlingsfehler, sehr schön.'' (county of Montfort, Ernest, 1730-58, carolin of 1735, Langenargen mint.)"</blockquote> The duke of Wurttemberg introduced the carolin d'or and its half and quarter in 1731. They were quickly imitated by other south German states, including Wurzburg, Pfalz, Hesse and Cologne. An imperial decree of 1736 banned their production by reason of the low fineness of gold. Some lords attempted to surreptitiously issue backdated coinage but eventually production ended. This type was struck for the County of Montfort in 1734-36 and is accompanied by a quarter carolin and a half carolin. Montfort is an extremely obscure locality now in the province of Limburg in the Netherlands. We have filed it under the [[Austria, Austria-Netherlands|Austrian Netherlands]] as the counts sold out to the Austrian emperor in 1780.
