This specimen was lot 1243 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>"Warm and Handsome About Uncirculated Riksdaler of Karl IX the Duke of Sodermanland, [[Sweden|SWEDEN]]. Riksdaler, 1597. Stockholm Mint. Karl (IX), Duke of Sodermanland. NGC AU-55. This Riksdaler is the only denomination struck in Stockholm by Karl IX as duke, and all his coins are rare today. It is the first Swedish coin to have supporters for the shield, a feature that became standard on Riksdalers from 1654 to 1748; we do note the lion tucking his tail between his legs, an intriguing feature. The surfaces display a warm appeal, with nice strike quality and soft amber hues throughout. A piece that presents quite nicely, and as such, one that will capture much attention. Ex: Countship of Brahesminde Collection (Private Sale - 1922)"</blockquote> Sigismund III was king of Poland 1587-1625 and king of Sweden 1592-99. His fanatical Catholicism was popular in Poland but less so in Lutheran Sweden and he was ousted by his uncle, who became Charles IX (r. 1604-11). This type was struck 1595-98. Note the two digit date.
