This specimen was lot 1064 in Stack's Bowers sale of the L. E. Bruun Collection (Copenhagen, September 2024), where it sold for €14,400 (about US$15,958 including buyer's fees). The catalog description[1] noted,
"Bright and Shimmering Ducat with Immense Appeal, DENMARK. Ducat, 1653. Copenhagen Mint; Privy Mark: Poker. Frederik III. NGC AU-58. Mintmaster: Henrik Köhler. Engraver: Jeremias Hercules. A positively charming example of this rare Ducat. Struck with the same obverse as the 5 and 2 Ducats in the previous lots but with a different reverse die with GOTHOR instead of GOTTOR in the king's title."
Friedberg lumps this ducat with the issue of 1657 as Fr-101 but the bust and the position of the date are different. Both are rare.
