CNG Lissner sale, lot 206

This specimen was lot 206 in Classical Numismatic Group's sale of the Lissner Collection (Chicago, August 2014), where it sold for $96.80. The catalog description[1] noted, "DENMARK. Frederik VIII. 1906-1912. Æ 5 Øre. København (Copenhagen) mint. Vilhelm Burchard Poulsen, mintmaster. Knud Gunnar Jensen, engraver. Dated 1907 GJ VBP. In NGC encapsulation graded MS 64 BN. Moderate to dark patina. None graded higher and scarce in uncirculated." Danish currency endured several "reforms" in the nineteenth century. In 1874, the coinage was reformed again to the current system of 100 øre = one krone. This type is listed for 1907, 1908 and 1912 and is common. This specimen sold for less than the catalog value, one of the few lots in this sale to do so. The five øre was demonetized in 1989.

Recorded mintage: 1,000,000.

Specification: 8 g, bronze, this specimen 26 mm diameter, 8.12 g, 12h axis.

Catalog reference: KM 806; Y 22.
