This specimen was lot 33649 in Heritage sale 3082 (New York, January 2020), where it sold for $288. The catalog description[1] noted, "Denmark: Frederik VII Proof Rigsbankskilling 1853 FK-VS PR65 Brown PCGS, Altona mint.

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 rigsbankskilling was struck on five occasions, 1813, 1818, 1842, 1852 and 1853, each time with a different design.
