This specimen was lot 3303 in Künker sale 294 (Osnabruck, Germany, July 2017), where it sold for €36,000 (about US$48,521 including buyer's fees). The catalog description<sup>[1]</sup> noted, <blockquote>"''UNGARN, SiebenbürgEN, fürSTEN, Johann Kemeny, 1661-1662. Dukat 1661, Klausenburg. IOA : KEMEN - D : G : P : TR : Geharnischtes H·ftbild r. mit Kalpag (Pelzhaube), mit der Rechten das Zepter schulternd, die Linke am Schwertgriff//PAR · REG · HVN · DO · ET · SI · CO · 1661 Gekröntes, vierfeldiges, Siebenbürgisches Wappen mit dem Familienwappen Kemeny (aus einer Krone wachsender Hirsch) als Mittelschild. GOLD. Von größter Seltenheit. vorzüglich.'' (principality of Transylvania, John Kemeny, 1661-62, ducat of 1661, Klausenburg mint. Obverse: half-length armored bust with felt hat with scepter on shoulder and hand on sword; reverse: crowned, quartered Transylvanian arms charged with the Kemeny family arms (a crowned deer).

The Hapsburgs reconquered [[Hungary]] from the Turks in the 1680's and ended Transylvanian autonomy.
