This specimen was lot 1447 in Jean Elsen sale 154 (Brussels, March 2023), where it sold for €95 (about US$123 including buyer's fees). The catalog description[1] noted,
" BRABANT, Duché, François Ier (1745-1765), AR demi-couronne, 1758, Bruxelles. D/ Aigle impériale couronnée, entourée du collier de la Toison d'or. R/ Croix de Bourgogne entre trois couronnes, ornée du bijou de la Toison d'or. Taches d'oxydation. Très Beau. Dans le Trouvaille de Labuissière. (duchy of Brabant, Francis I, 1745-65, silver half kronenthaler of 1758, Brussels mint. Obverse: crowned imperial eagle, Order of the Golden Fleece around; reverse: Burgundian cross between three crowns, decorated with the jewels of the Golden Fleece. Stains from corrosion, Very Fine.)"
Belgium, long a part of Hapsburg Spain, was awarded to Charles VI of Austria by the Treaty of Utrecht which ended the War of the Spanish Succession. Fortified by the Dutch and constantly menaced by the French, the Austrians quickly discovered Belgium to be a worthless addition to their domain. This type was struck in 1755-79 during the reign of Maria Theresia (KM 19) and Francis I (KM 20, shown here, struck 1755-65). It replaced the half ducaton in 1755 but retained many stylistic features. Antwerp and Brussels both struck this type in 1758, the only year that happened. The Austrians lost Belgium to Revolutionary France in 1797. After the fall of Napoleon in 1815, Belgium passed to the king of the Netherlands.
