from Steve Album sale 45, lot 2629

This specimen was lot 2629 in Stephen Album sale 45 (Santa Rosa, CA, January 2023), where it sold for $288. The catalog description[1] noted, "AUSTRIAN NETHERLANDS: Leopold II, 1790-1792, AR 14 liards, Brussels, 1791, a beautiful mint state example! PCGS graded MS64, ex Joe Sedillot Collection." 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. Charles neglected it and it was left to Maria Theresia to provide new coinage for it the late 1740's. This type was struck for Leopold II in 1790-92. It is not rare. Four liards = one sol, 54 sols = one kronenthaler.

Recorded mintage: 297,000.

Specification: 2.7 g, 0.535 fine silver, 22 mm diameter.

Catalog reference: KM-39.
