This specimen was lot 40704 in Ponterio sale 168 (Philadelphia, August 2012), where it sold for $1,410. The catalog description[1] noted, "NORWAY. 4 Mark (Krone), 1679-PG. NGC AU-55. Christian V (1670-99). Toned." This coin is a little small 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 1669-80 and is somewhat available. Norway passed from Danish to Swedish rule in 1814.

Recorded mintage: unknown.

Specification: 22.27 g, 0.672 fine silver.

Catalog reference: Dav-3662; H-41c; ABH-73; KM 96; Sieg-37.3.
