SB924-1214r.jpg

This specimen was lot 1214 in Stack's Bowers sale of the L. E. Bruun Collection (Copenhagen, September 2024), where it sold for €72,000 (about US$79,791 including buyer's fees). The catalog description[1] noted,

"Extremely Rare and Nicely Toned Speciedaler with Bright Luster, NORWAY. Speciedaler, 1665. Christiania Mint. Frederik III. NGC MS-62. Mintmaster: Frederik Grüner (FG). EXTREMELY RARE and quite laudatory in terms of condition, this beautiful Speciedaler is struck with exemplary precision in the fine details. Charming luster alights the surfaces, with handsome toning originating at the rims and works its way inward with diminishing power. A few instances of contact appear in the fields, though this does little to dampen the overall appeal of this specimen. A representative that is a cut above what is normally encountered on Speciedalers. Ex: H. H. J. Lynge Collection (Copenhagen - 1899) Lot # 1329. Ex: Johan Andreas Ferdinand Wolff Collection (Copenhagen - 3/1882) Lot # 881."
