The first specimen was lot 3501 in Sincona Auction 101 (Zürich, October 2025), where it sold for 225 CHF (about US$339 including buyers' fees). The catalog description[1] noted,
"RDR / ÖSTERREICH Olmütz, Bistum, Karl III. von Lothringen, 1695-1711. 6 Kreuzer 1708, Kremsier. Walzenprägung. Vorzüglich. (Austria, bishopric of Olmütz, Charles III of Lorraine, 1695-1711, six kreuzer of 1708, Kremsier mint. Rotated reverse, Extremely Fine.)"
The second specimen was lot 3503 in the same sale, where it sold for 200 CHF (about US$302 including buyers' fees). The catalog description[1] noted,
"RDR / ÖSTERREICH Olmütz, Bistum, Karl III. von Lothringen, 1695-1711. 6 Kreuzer 1708, Kremsier. Walzenprägung. Vorzüglich. Minimaler Randfehler. (Austria, bishopric of Olmütz, Charles III of Lorraine, 1695-1711, six kreuzer of 1708, Kremsier mint. Rotated reverse, Extremely Fine, Minimal edge flaw.)"
This type was struck 1706-11; the SCWC notes, "KM 374 has more than 12 minor varieties." Six kreuzer was one-fifteenth of a reichs thaler. Olmütz, then in Moravia, is now Olomuoc in the Czech Republic.
