Stack's Bowers sale of the L. E. Bruun Collection, lot 1202
SB924-1202r.jpg

This specimen was lot 1202 in Stack's Bowers sale of the L. E. Bruun Collection (Copenhagen, September 2024), where it sold for €384,000 (about US$425,549 including buyer's fees). The catalog description[1] noted,

"Remarkable 1660-FG Ducat of Norway, The First Norwegian Ducat Issue Ever Struck, NORWAY. Ducat, 1660-FG. Christiania Mint. Frederik III. NGC AU Details--Cleaned. Mintmaster: Frederik Grüner (FG); Engraver: Johan Blum. The first Norwegian Ducat ever, with only three examples of the type recorded in gold and two in silver, leaving this as an EXTREMELY RARE type that stands near the pinnacle of Norwegian numismatics. The three-quarters facing bust is phenomenal, with a level of precision to the details that is beyond engaging, and very few other types bear as attractive a portrait. The surfaces are bright and brilliant, giving a nice vibrant hue, and traces of actual wear are hard to discern. The noted cleaning refers to some hairlines in the reverse field, which do little to dampen the general appeal of the piece. A Ducat that is certain to generate exceptional demand, as chances to own another one are beyond limited. Ex: Johan G. Guildal Collection (Private Sale - 1918); later published by the Danish Numismatic Society as item 1397 in his collection."

This rare type was struck 1660 only along with a eighth specie daler of very similar design. Numista states that there are two known of this issue (the photo therein is of this coin).

Recorded mintage: unknown.

Specification: 3.49 g, 0.979 fine gold, this specimen 3.48 g.

Catalog reference: Fr-1; KM-61; Hede-1; Sieg-68; NMD-6; Schou-4; Aagaard-72.1; Bruun-9823.
