This specimen was lot 4097 in Goldberg sale 41 (Beverly Hills, May 2007), where it sold for $1,495. The catalog description[1] noted, "Hungary. Ducat, 1694. Kremnitz mint. Leopold I, 1658-1705. Ruler standing in armored robe, crowned with orb in left hand and scepter in right, K-B in fields, figure breaks inner circle at top and bottom. Leg: *LEOPOLD:D:G:R:I.SA:GHB.REX. Reverse: Crowned madonna and child in 'flames'. Leg: AR:AV:DV:BV:M (shield) MO:CO:TY.1694. NGC graded MS-63. The madonna and child motif is not unique to Hungary. Bavaria utilized it as well." The obverse legend, "LEOPOLD · D · G · R · I · S · A · G · H · B · REX", expands into "Leopoldus Dei Gratia Romanorum Imperator Semper Augustus Germaniae Bohemiae Hungariae Rex," which translates to, "Leopold, by the grace of God Emperor of the Romans, Ever August, King of Germany, Bohemia and Hungary."
