This specimen was lot 31781 in Heritage sale 3029 (New York, January 2014), where it sold for $440.63. The catalog description[1] noted, "Ulrika Eleonora DeGortz Daler 1719, MS63 Red Brown NGC. Hoppet emergency coinage, with an inverted heart between S - M. A choice lustrous example, rarely seen in this condition."

This series (the SCWC lists ten types issued 1715-19) was supposed to be redeemed in silver after the peace. When this didn't happen, the government official responsible for their issue was executed.
