This specimen was lot 182 in Classical Numismatic Group's sale of the Lissner Collection (Chicago, August 2014), where it sold for $72.60. The catalog description[1] noted, "DENMARK. Frederik VII. 1848-1863. CU 1/2 Rigsankskilling. København (Copenhagen) mint. Georg Wilhelm Svendsen, mintmaster. Frederik Christopher Krohn, engraver. Dated 1852 FK VS. In NGC encapsulation graded MS 65 BN. Gem deeply toned uncirculated with a hint of red underlying luster. Highest ever graded for the date and type." 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 1 krone = 100 øre, which system is still in use, tho the krone is no longer silver. The half rigsbankskilling was struck on three occasions, 1838, 1842 and 1852, each time with a different design. This specimen sold for less than the catalog value, one of the few lots in the sale to do so.
