<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jaelus, post: 2880860, member: 46237&quot;]Here&#039;s an interesting new pickup of an undocumented mule.</p><p><br /></p><p>The Coronation of Empress Elisabeth as Queen of Hungary</p><p>Hungary 1867A (Vienna mint)</p><p>Mule Mont.2714/Mont.2716</p><p>Ducat (in silver) 20mm</p><p><br /></p><p>Two versions of the coronation ducat were produced with this diameter in silver, one with Hungarian legends and one with Latin legends. This example, however, is a mule with the obverse of Montenuovo-2714 (Hungarian Legends) and the reverse of Montenuovo-2716 (Latin Legends). I&#039;ve been working on completing a set of all 36 coronation types in this series for years, and this is the first mule I&#039;ve seen. As far as I can tell, it&#039;s not documented anywhere.</p><p><br /></p><p>Of note, these coronation pieces are Hungarian but were struck in Vienna. 1867 was a transition year with Hungary coming out of a period of Austrian occupation and resuming minting of their own coinage. The Hungarian types of 1867 still used the Austrian mint marks A and B with some types struck in Vienna.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]690472[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]690473[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
