This specimen was lot 1122 in Stack's Bowers sale of the L. E. Bruun Collection (Copenhagen, September 2024), where it sold for €38,400 (about US$42,555 including buyer's fees). The catalog description[1] noted,
"Alluring City View Double Ducat with Brilliant Luster, DENMARK. Gold 2 Ducats, ND (1670-99). Copenhagen Mint. Christian V. NGC MS-64. EXCESSIVELY RARE with only a very few in private hands. A genuinely superb jewel of a coin on which the level of detail in the city view makes you dream you could be there.
Underneath the text "Hafnia Dania" (Copenhagen - Denmark) is shown a magnificent view of the capital seen from the harbor, from which it clearly emerges that it was not without a reason that Copenhagen was dubbed, "City of Towers". The amusing obverse with the personification of the winds blowing from the clouds over a monogrammed pyramid, bears the legend: NEC VI NEC METU ("Neither with violence, nor fear") referring to the just reign of the king. Ex: Countship of Brahesminde Collection (Private Sale - 1922). Ex: Peter v. Hemmert Collection (Copenhagen - 2/1807) Lot # 192."
This appears to us to be a medal, not a coin.
Recorded mintage: unknown.
