SB924-1071r.jpg

This specimen was lot 1071 in Stack's Bowers sale of the L. E. Bruun Collection (Copenhagen, September 2024), where it sold for €6,000 (about US$6,649 including buyer's fees). The catalog description[1] noted,

"Delicately Handled Half Ducat Featuring the Monogram of Frederik III, DENMARK. 1/2 Ducat, 1659. Copenhagen Mint; Privy Mark: Poker. Frederik III. NGC AU-58. Mintmaster: Henrik Köhler. Engravers: Matthias Först and Johan Blum. A most pleasing example of this RARE type, the present Half Ducat delivers sharp brilliance and only light signs of wear. An alluring specimen that is most certain to capture many excited bids. Ex: Johan G. Guildal Collection (Private Sale - 1918); later published by the Danish Numismatic Society as item 1363 in his collection."

This type was struck again in 1664. Both dates are rare.
