    Well, I ended up getting this...

    obverse: HRE Emperor Karl VI standing with sword
    reverse: Imperial Doubleheaded Eagle

    Thanks!
    Usually, when Kunker have coins that they describe as "prachtexemplar" they go way over estimated prices. I felt, I had nothing to loose by putting in a lowball bid, really glad i did now.:) The HRE did a really good job in their coinage, the mints went from 3 Kreuzers for the peasant class upto AV 10 Dukaten for the upper classes/ then the massive 20/30/40 Dukaten for presentation purposes. The AV Quarter Dukaten where probably for the everyday purchases at local bakeries/ butchershops etc.
