The first specimen was lot 1110 in Sincona sale 38 (Zürich, May 2017), where it sold for 2,000 CHF (about US$2,399 including buyer's fees). The catalog description[1] noted,
"Friedrich VI. 1808-1839 2 Friedrich dor 1837. Altona Sehr schön. (kingdom of Denmark, Frederick VI, 1808-39, double fredericks d'or, Altona mint, Very fine.)"
The second specimen was lot 6019 in Künker sale 336 (Osnabrück, Germany, March 2020), where it sold for €3,200 (about US$4,188 including buyer's fees). The catalog description[2] noted,
"DÄNEMARK, KÖNIGREICH, Frederik VI. 1808-1839. 2 Frederik d'or 1837, Altona. Feingold. Fast vorzüglich. (kingdom of Denmark, Frederick VI, 1808-39, double frederick d'or of 1837, Altona mint. about extremely fine.)"
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 The christians d'or was superseded by the twenty kroner.
