Here is a coin that I am getting ready to sell and could not find the info on it. Any help would greatly be appreciated. I have searched all my books without a match. It has more luster than I can capture with my camera. Also, could someone give me an idea of values in xf and unc. -Dan

I think it is KM#251, minted in Kremnitz, Hungary (KB) and lists for $220 in XF and nothing higher. Note the arms of Hungary at 9 o'clock and the madonna and child at 3 o'clock on the obverse with Leopold.3Mark

Yep - I would agree with 3Mark - Hungarian KM#251.

Great detail on that coin!

...and the notorious "Hapsburg jaw", a genetic defect occurring throughout the royal line. It can also be seen on some of the Spanish monarchs, but Leopold I seems to have copped the worst of it - he's gone down in history as Leopold the Hogmouth
