Denmark (1481-83) hvid
This specimen was lot 10014 in Stack's Bowers Collectors Choice Online Auction (Costa Mesa, CA, February 2025), where it sold for €145 (about US$151). The catalog description[1] noted, "DENMARK. Hvid, ND. Malmö Mint. Interregnum (1481-1483). NGC EF Details--Environmental Damage. Decent example of this interesting type, struck by the privy council in the Interregnum between Kings Christian I and Hans. When Christian I died his son, Hans was the heir apparent. Due to political difficulties, however, it was a few years before he could take the throne. Once believed to have been struck during the previous Interregnum, 1448, but it has long since been established that this coinage was in fact minted during the Interregnum between Christian I and Hans (hence the wrong date on the holder). From the L. E. Bruun Collection. Ex. Joh. G. Guildal Collection (Private Sale-1918)."
