This specimen was lot 40391 in Ponterio sale 168 (Philadelphia, August 2012), where it did not sell. The catalog description[1] noted, "SWEDEN. 1/4 Ducat, 1733. NGC MS-62. Frederik I (1720-51). Sharply struck and very attractive." This coin with its trifling mintage is not even listed as rare in the SCWC, demonstrating how underrated the minors are compared to the well-studied riksdalers. The last quarter ducat was issued in 1755.
Recorded mintage: 1,687.
Specification: 0.87 g, .976 fine gold.
Catalog reference: Fr-60; KM-417; AAH-51a.
