This specimen was lot 1111 in Stack's Bowers sale of the L. E. Bruun Collection (Copenhagen, September 2024), where it sold for €132,000 (about US$146,283 including buyer's fees). The catalog description[1] noted,
"Beautiful and Lustrous Gold 4 Mark of 10 Ducats Weight, DENMARK. Gold 4 Mark (of 10 Ducats Weight), 1689. Copenhagen Mint. Christian V. NGC MS-61. Mintmaster: Gregorius Sesemann (GS). Thin monogram type. With only three to four examples known, this alluring gold 4 Mark displays bright luster and only limited signs of actual handling. Details are sharp and appealing, with a nice clarity and limited signs of past handling. A stunning and handsome large format example that is worthy of a premium bid from any collector seeking a capstone piece.
As the denomination (IIII Marck) clearly indicates, this must be considered a trial for a new but never realized silver Krone (4 Mark). It was however struck in gold with the weight of a Portugaloser/10 Ducats (34.65 g) so it could be presented to the king for his personal consideration. Ex: Countship of Brahesminde Collection (Private Sale - 1922). Ex: Peter Pedersen Collection (Private Sale - Prior to 1861)."
The four mark actually minted (KM 386) of 1686-89 used a different design.
Recorded mintage: unknown.
Specification: 22.27 g, 0.671 fine silver, this specimen gold, 34.65 g.
