This specimen was lot 4069 in Goldberg sale 41 (Beverly Hills, May 2007), where it did not sell. The catalog description<sup>[1]</sup> noted, "[[German States, Teutonic Order|Teutonic Order]]. Ducat, ND. Maximilian of Austria, 1590-1618. Obv. Archduke standing right; left hand on sword hilt and right hand on scepter. Leg: MAX:D:G:AR:AV - D:B:MA:PR.ADM Reverse: Crowned complex arms on shield. Leg: Orb+ ETOR:TEV:P:GER:ITA:MAG:CO:HA:ET:T A lovely well struck, mint fresh coin. NGC graded MS-63. Maximilian was both Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire and Grandmaster of the Teutonic Order. The Teutonic Order was founded during the Crusades to safeguard the Christian pilgrims visiting the Holy Land. It was different from the other orders in that it was almost exclusively German. Already in the 16th century the order was in decline. Yet it still produced great coins." The major domains of the Teutonic Order were in Prussia, Livonia and Estonia but they had estates in the Holy Roman Empire as well, where this ducat likely originated.
