This is a pattern strike — a Probe or Prägung — not a coin intended for circulation. Leopold I's Hungarian deniers were a copper and silver workhorse coinage; producing one in gold served as a presentation piece, likely for court gifting or treasury demonstration purposes. The practice was well established in Habsburg minting culture, and the Vienna and Kremnica mints both produced such rarities sporadically through Leopold's exceptionally long reign.
Fr#129 confirms the Feuardent gold attribution. Survivors are essentially uncountable in single digits across known collections.
