Künker sale 406, lot 3885

This specimen was lot 3885 in Künker sale 406 (Osnabrück, March 2024), where it sold for €2,200 (about US$2,887 including buyer's fees). The catalog description[1] noted,

"KAISERREICH ÖSTERREICH, Franz Josef I. 1848-1916. 4 Dukaten 1857, A, Wien. 13,76 g Feingold. GOLD. RR Mehrere Randfehler, vorzüglich. (empire of Austria, Francis Joseph I, 1848-1916, four ducats of 1857, Vienna mint. Very rare, some rim bumps, extremely fine.)"

This type was struck 1854-59. It has the diameter of a thaler but is much thinner. It was never restruck, unlike the later type, so it remains scarce.

Recorded mintage: unknown.

Specification: 13.96 g, 0.986 fine gold.

Catalog reference: KM 2271.1, Fr-484; J. 298; Schl. 363.
