This specimen was lot 1260 in Stack's Bowers sale of the L. E. Bruun Collection (Copenhagen, September 2024), where it sold for €55,200 (about US$61,173 including buyer's fees). The catalog description[1] noted,
"Stunning 1723 Gem Riksdaler Struck from 1/2 Riksdaler Dies, Approximately 32 Struck, SWEDEN. Riksdaler, 1723. Stockholm Mint. Fredrik I. NGC MS-65. Edge lettering: MANIBVS NE LAEDAR AVARIS ("May I not be damaged by avaricious hands"). Approximate Mintage: 32. Originating from the so-called "Krell" coinage, a series produced under the aegis of Paul Krell with 1/2 Riksdaler dies struck in double weight. The special care in production of this type is evident, with details boldly applied to the glossily lustrous flan. Mottled tone highlights the surfaces, with a soft steely gray seen in the open fields and more vibrant blue and purples around the devices and legends. When held in the light, the surfaces swim and dance with vibrance, and surfaces are clean as the Gem grade would suggest. A coin with a regal look that should command a royal price. Ex: Countship of Brahesminde Collection (Private Sale - 1922)."
A more conventional riksdaler (KM 395.1/Dav-1720) was also struck in 1723. Numista states that the mintmaster Krell issued this type, along with similar half and double riksdalers, on his own initiative and was rebuked for this. As the issue was small and most were recovered and melted, the crown suffered no loss and the matter was allowed to pass.
Recorded mintage: est. 32.
Specification: 29.25 g, 0.878 fine silver, 35 mm diameter, lettered edge, this specimen 29.16 g.
Catalog reference: KM-394; Dav-Unlisted; SM-61(59); Delzanno-9; Hagander-392; Bruun-12756.
