Stephen Album sale 50, lot 1152

This specimen was lot 1152 in Stephen Album sale 50 (Santa Rosa, CA, September 2024), where it sold for $600. The catalog description[1] noted, "NORWAY: Christian V, 1670-1699, AR 4 mark, 1671, a lovely original coin, crude planchet, VF-XF, ex Dr. Robert A. Rosenfeld Collection." This coin is a little light to be classed as a thaler (an honor more properly belonging to the contemporary six mark or specie daler), but it has a Davenport number so we will include it. It was struck 1670-80 and is somewhat available. Norway passed from Danish to Swedish rule in 1814.

Recorded mintage: unknown.

Specifications: 22.27 g, 0.672 fine silver, 39.4 mm diameter, this specimen 21.07 g.
