This specimen was lot 1065 in Stack's Bowers NYINC sale (New York, January 2022), where it sold for $1,020. The catalog description[1] noted, "DENMARK. Speciedaler, 1844-FF. Altona Mint. Christian VIII. PCGS MS-62. Attractive and cartwheeling luster is coated in multicolored iridescent tone that provides a decidedly high end and unique appearance. Worthy of a premium bid, this beautiful Speciedaler offers the chance at a harder to find world crown in near-choice condition." 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 one krone = 100 øre, which system is still in use, tho the krone is no longer silver. King Christian VIII ruled 1839-48. For 1844, this type was struck at Altona with none made at Copenhagen.
