This specimen was lot 1036 in Stack's Bowers sale of the L. E. Bruun Collection (Copenhagen, September 2024), where it sold for €28,800 (about US$31,916 including buyer's fees). The catalog description[1] noted,
"Sharply Detailed Example of this Extremely Rare Type, DENMARK. 2 Guldkrone, 1628. Copenhagen Mint. Christian IV. NGC AU Details--Obverse Rim Filed. Mintmark: RD. EXTREMELY RARE with no examples in public auctions for decades, this Ducat delivers charming eye appeal and good strike quality with limited signs of circulation. The noted edge file is visible, though it does not intrude too much, and leaves the design wholly unaffected."
The double gold krone usually seen is Fr-54, with a shield obverse. 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: 5.99 g, 0.917 fine gold, this specimen 5.91 g.
