SB924-1199r.jpg

This specimen was lot 1199 in Stack's Bowers sale of the L. E. Bruun Collection (Copenhagen, September 2024), where it sold for €120,000 (about US$132,94 including buyer's fees). The catalog description[1] noted,

"Alluring and Nicely Detailed Triple Speciedaler, The Only Example Known, NORWAY. 3 Speciedaler, 1657. Christiania Mint. Frederik III. NGC AU Details--Edge Filing. Mintmaster: Frederik Grüner (FG). Engraver: Matthias Först (?). Apart from traces of filing on some parts of the edge, an absolutely splendid and spectacularly detailed example of this massive piece. Of the approximately 40 known 3 Speciedalers from Frederik III, 10 of them reside in the Bruun Collection, all different. This is the only known of any variation dated 1657, thus marking a tremendously rare opportunity to acquire an important numismatic object which is genuinely UNIQUE with not even a single example held in public collections worldwide. Ex: Countship of Brahesminde Collection (Private Sale - 1922)."

This type was struck 1657-58 only. Half (KM 47), single, double and quadruple specie dalers were also struck in 1657.

Recorded mintage: unknown.
