This specimen was lot 24447 in Heritage sale 3026 (Long Beach, October 2013), where it sold for $2,937.50. The catalog description[1] noted, "Christian VII gold Ducat 1791, MS61 PCGS, sharply struck details with attractive lustrous surfaces, an appealing example of the Wildman series. Struck as a Trade Ducat for European commerce." 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. This type is listed for 1791-94 and 1802 and is rare as stated. Christian VII was insane for most of his reign and the government was in the hands of regents, including his stepmother and later his son. The court was the scene of violent power struggles over who would have access to the incapable king.
