| Beschrijving voorzijde | Diademed and draped bust of Empress Maria Theresia facing right, wearing a pearl earring and a lace-trimmed bodice. The engraver's initial R, for Jacques Roëttiers, appears below the truncation of the shoulder. The encircling legend reads MAR·TH·D:G·R·JMP.G·HUN·BOH·R·, an abbreviated Latin titulature expanding to MARIA THERESIA DEI GRATIA ROMANORUM IMPERATRIX GERMANIAE HUNGARIAE BOHEMIAEQUE REGINA. The portrait is executed in a refined Baroque style characteristic of the mid-eighteenth-century Southern Netherlands coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Austrian Netherlands quarter ducaton series was struck at the Brussels and Antwerp mints under Maria Theresia's authority following the War of the Austrian Succession, which had left the southern Netherlands economically disrupted and short of reliable fractional silver. The Pragmatic Sanction had secured her claim to the Habsburg inheritance, but the southern provinces required deliberate monetary stabilization — this denomination was part of that effort.
Vanhoudt distinguishes two varieties across this short run, 816 and 817, differentiated by mint and die details rather than compositional changes. The Brussels issues tend to be somewhat more available today than those struck at Antwerp.
