This specimen was lot 1209 in Stack's Bowers sale of the L. E. Bruun Collection (Copenhagen, September 2024), where it sold for €24,000 (about US$26,597 including buyer's fees). The catalog description<sup>[1]</sup> noted, <blockquote>"Beautifully Toned and Nearly Uncirculated Fractional Speciedaler, [[Norway|NORWAY]]. 1/4 Speciedaler, 1663. Christiania Mint. Frederik III. NGC AU-58. Mintmaster: Frederik Grüner (FG). Obverse engraved by Johan Blum. The best of presumably only two privately owned examples of the five known, this fractional Speciedaler is rich with near-Mint beauty displaying a handsome appeal that is sure to capture attention. Double struck on both sides, its nice luster is preserved, which complements the sharp details well. A handsome allotment of color is seen, with a nice golden hue to the open fields, with some deeper color scattered throughout. Even with the very slight wear, this example presents as well as many Mint State coins. Ex: H. H. J. Lynge Collection (Copenhagen - 1899) Lot # 1298."</blockquote> This rare type was struck 1663 only along with a triple, double, single and eighth specie daler.
