This specimen was lot 1228 in Stack's Bowers sale of the L. E. Bruun Collection (Copenhagen, September 2024), where it sold for €8,400 (about US$9,309 including buyer's fees). The catalog description[1] noted,
"Handsome Mint State Speciedaler with Brilliant Luster and Handsome Mottled Tone, NORWAY. 1/2 Speciedaler, 1693. Kongsberg Mint. Christian V. NGC MS-62. Mintmaster: Henning Christopher Meyer, the older (HCM). Engraver: Caspar Barth. Quite SCARCE and rather attractive, this handsome fractional Speciedaler delivers a resounding brilliance, with generous luster throughout. Mottled toning of numerous shades appears across the surfaces, with gold and blue being seen most frequently. Lightly handled, this alluring specimen is certainly strong on many attributes. The edge bears the following lettering: SAADAN NORDENS SKAT GUD GIEMTE TIL KONG CHRISTIAN DEND FEMTE ("God hid this Nordic treasure for King Christian the Fifth's pleasure"). Ex: Countship of Brahesminde Collection (Private Sale - 1922)."
