- HUNGARY. 1/2 Taler, 1706-KB. Kremnica Mint. Franz II Rakoczi. PCGS AU-55. KM-265.1. Revolutionary coinage of the Malcontents. An attractive example of this r evolutionary type. With the typical rolled pressing and steel gray patina, it is no surprise to be at the top of the PCGS population report. Leopold's rule of Hungary was marked by relentless repression. The country seethed in disquietude and when Leopold withdrew most of his troops from Hungary to use in the War of the Spanish Succession, rebellion broke out. The Malcontents were led by Ferenc Rakoczi, who at times had upwards of 100,000 men under his command. Although they were irregulars with no usable artillery and little financial support, they were able to cause Leopold's successor Joseph much consternation. Estimate: $300 - $500.
