This specimen was lot 1587 in Stack's Bowers NYINC sale (New York, January 2022), where it sold for $3,240. The catalog description<sup>[1]</sup> noted, "[[Sweden|SWEDEN]]. 2 Riksdaler, ND (1587).

A minor planchet flaw is noted below the bust of the king, but blends in rather well with the overall wholesome and original nature."
