This specimen was lot 712 in Sincona sale 89 (Zurich, May 2024), where it sold for 2,600 CHF (about US$3,436 including buyer's fees). The catalog description[1] noted,
"UNGARN, Sigismund, 1387-1437. Goldgulden o. J. (1387-1389), Kaschau. Kammergrafen Jacobus und Christianus (?). Selten. Vorzüglich. Exemplar der Auktion Spink Taisei 39, Zürich, Oktober 1991, Los 68. (kingdom of Hungary, Sigismund, 1387-1437, undated goldgulden, Kaschau mint. Rare, Extremely fine.)"
The ducats or florins or goldgulden of Hungary are among the more common gold coins of the late middle ages. During Sigismund's reign, the goldgulden matched the ducat; later issues were lighter and lower in fineness.
