Sincona sale 34, lot 4349

This specimen was lot 4349 in Sincona sale 34 (Zürich, October 2016), where it sold for 1,400 CHF (about US$1,662 including buyer's fees). The catalog description[1] noted,

"HOLY ROMAN EMPIRE - AUSTRIA. Maria Theresia, 1740-1780 15 Kreuzer 1776. Wien. Sehr schön-vorzüglich. (Holy Roman Empire, Maria Theresia, 1740-80, fifteen kreuzer of 1776, Vienna mint. Very fine-extremely fine.)"

The SCWC does not list any fifteen kreuzer pieces for Maria Theresia tho they were obviously struck. The design notes that it contains 1/96 of a mark (234 g) of silver or about 2.44 g. The coin itself weighs more as it is only billon.

Recorded mintage: unknown.

Specification: 6.12 g, 0.563 fine silver, this specimen 5.39 g.

Catalog reference: Eypeltauer 235, KM unlisted.
