SB924-1024r.jpg

This specimen was lot 1024 in Stack's Bowers sale of the L. E. Bruun Collection (Copenhagen, September 2024), where it sold for €21,600 (about US$23,937 including buyer's fees). The catalog description[1] noted, "Magnificently Toned and Splendidly Detailed Example, DENMARK. Speciedaler, 1618. Copenhagen Mint; Privy Mark: Clover. Christian IV. NGC MS-62. Mintmaster: Nicolaus Schwabe. An absolutely brilliant example with a nice cabinet toning and splendid details throughout. A tremendous Speciedaler preserved at a splendid Mint State level that is quite uncommon." The SCWC lists this type for 1609-10 and 1618-20. Christian IV (r. 1588-1648) had a long but not particularly successful reign. His war with Sweden and his intervention in the Thirty Years War were costly and brought little gain.

Recorded mintage: unknown.

Specification: 29.32 g, 0.888 fine silver, 40.8 mm diameter, this specimen 28.60 g.
