This specimen was lot 1133 in Stack's Bowers sale of the L. E. Bruun Collection (Copenhagen, September 2024), where it sold for €26,400 (about US$29,257 including buyer's fees). The catalog description[1] noted,
"Alluring Near-Gem Gold 16 Skilling Stuck to Ducat Weight Standard, DENMARK. Gold 16 Skilling (2 Ducats), 1713. Copenhagen Mint; mm: Heart. Frederik IV. NGC MS-64. Mintmaster: Christian Wineke (CW). An intriguing and VERY RARE type, featuring a gold planchet struck to a Double Ducat weight standard with the dies customarily used for a 16 Skilling. The luster on this example is bright, with a stunning glossy appeal that dances in the light. The details are crisply laid, with no evidence of weakness or defect in strike. Only one further example in gold has been traced, as lot 77 in Bruun Rasmussen Auction 910 (November 2022) which realized a final hammer price of 420,000 DKK (roughly 56,000 EUR)."
The regular silver issue was struck 1713-16 and had a face value of one-sixth of a speciedaler.
Recorded mintage: unknown.
