Stack's Bowers sale of the L. E. Bruun Collection, lot 1018
SB924-1018r.jpg

This specimen was lot 1018 in Stack's Bowers sale of the L. E. Bruun Collection (Copenhagen, September 2024), where it sold for €19,200 (about US$21,278 including buyer's fees). The catalog description[1] noted,

"A Very Rare Klippe Struck in 4 Daler Weight, DENMARK. 4 Daler Klippe, 1604. Christian IV. NGC AU Details--Tooled. Minted by Nicolaus Schwabe in only 588 examples. VERY RARE with only light smoothing in the fields around the portrait accounting for the designation by NGC, but very well-struck with clear details."

This was one of a series of gold klippes struck in eight dalers (Fr-44), six dalers (Fr-45), four dalers (Fr-46) and three dalers (Fr-47). The experiment was not repeated and all are very rare. Christian IV (r. 1588-1648) had a long but not particularly successful reign. His war with Sweden and his intervention in the Thirty Years War were costly and brought little gain.

Recorded mintage: unknown.

Specification: 9.74 g, 0.923 fine gold, 29.7 mm diameter, this specimen 9.59 g.

Catalog reference: Fr-46; KM-25; Hede-12; Sieg-146; Schou-5; Bruun-4670.
