Sincona sale 33, lot 3333

This specimen was lot 3333 in Sincona sale 33 (Zurich, October 2016), where it sold for 700 CHF (about US$831 including buyer's fees). The catalog description[1] noted,

"UNGARN. Josef II. 1765-1790 Dukat 1782. G Nagybanya. Sehr schön-vorzüglich. (kingdom of Hungary, Joseph II, 1765-90, ducat of 1782, Nagybánya mint. Very fine-extremely fine.)"

This type is listed for several mints from 1780-82 and is fairly common. Subsequently, a bare bust of the emperor was adopted (Fr-204). Confusingly, Friedburg lists this under Hungary, which is technically correct, as Nagybanya is in Hungary, but the design is strictly Austrian.

Recorded mintage: unknown.
