This specimen was lot 4383 in Sincona sale 34 (Zürich, October 2016), where it sold for 475 CHF (about US$564 including buyer's fees). The catalog description[1] noted,
"HOLY ROMAN EMPIRE - AUSTRIA. Franz I. 1745-1765 Taler 1754. Prag. Sehr schön-vorzüglich. (Holy Roman Empire, Francis I, 1745-65, thaler of 1754, Prague mint. Very fine-extremely fine.)"
On the death of Charles VI in 1740, the redoubtable Maria Theresia was crowned Archduchess of Austria and queen of Hungary but, being a woman, could not be given the imperial crown. Therefore, after much debate and a war fomented by Frederick the Great of Prussia, her husband Francis of Lorraine was crowned Holy Roman Emperor in 1745. This thaler was issued 1751-65 from Hall (Dav-1155), Vienna, Kremnitz (Dav-1157) and Prague (shown here), and is common.
Recorded mintage: unknown.
