This specimen was lot 177 in Classical Numismatic Group's sale of the Lissner Collection (Chicago, August 2014), where it sold for $363. The catalog description<sup>[1]</sup> noted, "DENMARK. Christian VIII. 1839-1848. AR 8 Rigsbankskilling – 2 1/4 Skilling. Altona mint. Iohann Friederich Freund, mintmaster. Frederik Christopher Krohn, engraver. Dated 1843 FK FF. In NGC encapsulation graded MS 65. Dual denominated for use in Schleswig-Holstein. Gem lustrous fully toned specimen. A great looking coin and only one graded higher. Purchased from Louis Collins, June 1975." Danish currency endured several "reforms" in the nineteenth century. Until 1813, 1 ducat = 2 speciedaler = 12 mark = 192 skilling Danske. After the reform of 1813, 1 frederiks d'or = 5 speciedaler = 10 rigsbankdaler = 960 rigsbankskilling. In 1854, the speciedaler was dropped but the remaining denominations were unchanged. In 1874, all the old denominations were terminated in favor of 1 krone = 100 øre, which system is still in use, tho the krone is no longer silver. The eight rigsbankskilling was struck 1843 only. The "1¼ SCH: C:", short for "1½ schilling courant," marks this coin's value in Schleswig-Holstein, then under Danish rule.
