Sweden 1835-CB riksdaler specie Dav-352
This specimen was lot 31877 in Heritage sale 3073 (Chicago, April 2019), where it sold for $1,093.20. The catalog description[1] noted, "Carl XIV Johan Riksdaler 1835-CB MS63 NGC. Visually alluring, with dramatic rainbow tones that accentuate each side and struck-up illustrations that rise to full completion. Minor post-strike handling remains within the confines of the assigned grade, but does little to detract from the incredible nature of this coin. Choice, and highly desirable at this technical level." This type was struck 1831-42 and most of the dates are scarce to rare. This one is common. Carl XIV Johan was originally Charles Bernadotte, one of Napoleon's generals. He married into the Swedish royal family and became king himself in 1818. The present dynasty is descended from him.
