This specimen was lot 173 in Classical Numismatic Group's sale of the Lissner Collection (Chicago, August 2014), where it sold for $242. The catalog description[1] noted, "DENMARK. Christian VIII. 1839-1848. CU 2 Rigsbankskilling. København (Copenhagen) mint. Georg Wilhelm Svendsen, mintmaster. Frederik Christopher Krohn, engraver. Dated 1842 FK VS. In NGC encapsulation graded MS 64 RB. Superb uncirculated with underlying red in just the right places. Tied for the highest ever graded. A great looking piece. Purchased from World-Wide Coins of California, March 1979." 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 double rigsbankskilling was struck on three occasions, 1818, 1836 (billon) and 1842, each time with a different design.
Recorded mintage: unknown.
