SB225-10094r.jpg

This specimen was lot 10094 in Stack's Bowers Collectors Choice Online Auction (Costa Mesa, CA, February 2025), where it sold for €264 (about US$275). The catalog description[1] noted, "DENMARK. 8 Skilling, 1609. Copenhagen Mint. Christian IV. NGC VF-25. Scarce date. From the L. E. Bruun Collection." This type was struck at Copenhagen 1606-09 and was worth 1/12 speciedaler. Undated versions exist. Christian IV (r. 1588-1648) had a long but only moderately successful reign. His war with Sweden and his intervention in the Thirty Years War were costly and brought little gain.

Recorded mintage: unknown.

Specification: 2.92 g, 0.888 fine silver, 25 mm diameter.

Catalog reference: KM-32.5; Hede-93B; Sieg-54.3; Schou-21; Bruun-4813.
