Sincona sale 33, lot 2109

This specimen was lot 2109 in Sincona sale 33 (Zürich, October 2016), where it sold for 200 CHF (about US$238 including buyer's fees). The catalog description[1] noted,

Altho Denmark was neutral in World War One, it was subject to the same higher prices for raw materials. The two kroner was converted to aluminum bronze in 1924 and struck to that standard until 1959. Despite the substantial mintage, this is listed as a rare date.
