This specimen was lot 20495 in Heritage sale 3021 (New York, January 2013), where it sold for $2,820. The catalog description[1] noted, "Frederick VI gold 2 Frederick d'Or 1838-FF-CC, AU55 NGC, lightly toned with sharply struck details and luster in the legends, an attractive example of this highly elusive type." This coin is from a series begun in 1828 during the reign of Frederick VI. This type was struck 1836-39. Since 1513, the kings of Denmark have alternated between the names Frederick and Christian; when Fredericks VI and VII ruled, this coin was called a frederiks d'or; when Christians VIII and IX ruled, it was called a christians d'or. It was the same size and weight as a Prussian friedrichs d'or (KM 371, KM 398, KM 415, KM 442) and a Saxon gold five thalers (KM 1054, KM 1102, KM 1113, KM 1123, KM 1143). All the Danish issues are rare today. In 1874, Danish coinage underwent a decimal reform and Denmark joined the Scandinavian Monetary Union. The christians d'or was superseded by the 20 kroner.
