This specimen was part of lot 2650 in Goldberg sale 110 (Los Angeles, June 2019), where it sold for $156. The catalog description[1] noted, "Worldwide.

It is part of the reform of 1874 which decimalized Danish coinage, dropping the old skillings, rigsbankdalers and fredericks d'or. This coin was struck to the same standard as the Swedish ten öre.
