This specimen was lot 3992 in Goldberg sale 41 (Beverly Hills, May 2007), where it sold for $57,500. The catalog description<sup>[1]</sup> noted, "[[Denmark]]. Ducat, 1682. Scheswig Holstein, Gluckstadt. CW (Christoph Woltereck, mintmaster in Gluckstadt, 1650-1718). Christian V, 1670-1699. Obv. Crowned king standing spurred with scepter in right hand on right shoulder and orb and cross in left. Leg: CHRISTIAN V.D: --G: REX.D.N:V:GOT. Reverse: Young girl (Fortuna) swirling a large sail about her, foot on small 'globe' within arms of crossed wreaths, with date and mintmarks below. Leg: JUSTITIA - PIETATE. Exceptional quality. Of the highest rarity. NGC graded MS-61. One of the rarities of this collection. Christian actually produced many different types of gold coins, but most had very low mintages. The example pictured here is almost never encountered. Add to that the incredible quality, and this is a very special coin. Christian did a better job of producing coins than managing his kingdom. He ingloriously died in a hunting accident."  The SCWC lists the Duchy of Gluckstadt directly after the Danish listings tho the region is actually in [[German States, Schleswig-Holstein|Schleswig-Holstein]].
