This specimen was lot 955 in Jean Elsen sale 136 (Brussels, March 2018), where it sold for €80 (about US$118 including buyer's fees). The catalog description[1] noted,
" BRABANT, Duché, Marie-Thérèse (1740-1780), Cu double liard, 1749, Anvers. D/ B. diad. à d., avec collier de perles. R/ Inscription dans une couronne. Minuscules défauts de flan. Superbe. (duchy of Brabant, Maria Theresia, 1740-80, copper double liard of 1749. Obverse: diademed bust to right with pearl necklace; reverse: inscription below crown. Minor flan defects, extremely fine.)"
This double liard was struck 1749-53. The "(h)" in the page title refers to the hand mintmark on the reverse, signifying Antwerp; a lion was used for Bruges. On the death of Charles VI in 1740, the redoubtable Maria Theresia was crowned Archduchess of Austria and queen of Hungary but, being a woman, could not be given the imperial crown. Therefore, after much debate and a war fomented by Frederick the Great of Prussia, her husband Francis of Lorraine was crowned Holy Roman Emperor in 1745.
