Denier - Leopold I Gold Strike

The H#1348a is a gold striking of a denomination normally produced in silver — these pieces were not intended for circulation but made as presentation or Schaugepräge issues, struck for gift-giving at court or to mark occasions of dynastic significance. Leopold I used such pieces extensively as diplomatic and patronage instruments, and Hungarian gold strikings of base-metal types from his reign appear across several denominations with varying degrees of rarity.

H#1348 itself is a scarce type; the "a" suffix variant rarer still. Most examples traceable in auction records come from Central European collections dispersed in the twentieth century.
