photo courtesy Stack's-Bowers LLC

This specimen was lot 12210 in Ponterio sale 177 (Chicago, August 2013), where it sold for $3,172. The catalog description[1] noted, "DENMARK. 20 Kroner, 1909-VBP. NGC SP-65. EXTREMELY RARE as specimen. Beautiful reflective surfaces with lightly cameoed devices." This specimen was struck during the reign of Frederick VIII (1906-12). The Scandinavian countries (Norway, Denmark and Sweden) formed their own monetary union in competition with the Latin Monetary Union based on the French twenty francs d'or. Like that union, the Scandinavian Monetary Union lasted until World War One blasted all hard currencies out of existence. The twenty kroner shown here was issued 1908-12 in fairly large numbers compared to the smaller ten kroner (KM 809).

Recorded mintage: 365,000.

Specification: 8.96 g, 0.900 fine gold, .259 troy oz AGW.

Catalog reference: Fr-297; KM-810; Sieg-2; H-1.
