This specimen was lot 164 in Sincona Auction 103 (Zürich, May 2026), where it sold for 2,750 CHF (about US$3,493 including buyers' fees). The catalog description<sup>[1]</sup> noted, <blockquote>"''DÄNEMARK, Christian IX. 1863-1906. 20 Kroner 1874, Kopenhagen. Sehr seltener Jahrgang. Vorzüglich-FDC.'' ((kingdom of [[Denmark]], Christian IX, 1863-1906, twenty kroner of 1874, Copenhagen mint. Very rare date, About Uncirculated.)"</blockquote> This specimen was struck during the reign of Christian IX (1863-1906). The Scandinavian countries ([[Norway]], [[Denmark]] and [[Sweden]]) formed their own monetary union in competition with the Latin Monetary Union based on the French twenty francs d'or. Like that union, the Scandinavian Monetary Union lasted until World War One blasted all hard currencies out of existence. The twenty kroner shown here was issued 1873-77, 1890 and 1900 in fairly large numbers compared to the smaller ten kroner.
