This specimen was lot 5075 in Künker sale 441 (Osnabrück, March 2026), where it sold for €8,000 (about US$11,006 including buyer's fees). The catalog description[1] noted,
"NORWEGEN, KÖNIGREICH Christian IV., 1588-1648. 1/2 Speciedaler 1643, Christiania. 14,48 g Gekröntes und geharnischtes Brustbild r. mit umgelegter Feldbinde//Gekrönter Löwe l. mit gebogener Hellebarde, zu den Seiten 16 - 43. Von großer Seltenheit. Hübsche Patina, winz. Prägeschwäche, sehr schön. Exemplar der Sammlung Münzen und Medaillen aus adeligem Privatbesitz. (kingdom of Norway, Christian IV, 1588-1648, half speciedaler of 1643, Christiania mint. Obverse: crowned, armored and sashed bust right; reverse: crowned lion left, supporting a curved halberd, dividing the date. Extremely rare, handsome patina, slightly weakly struck, very fine.)"
Despite a steady issue for 1629-48, this type is rare. The photo in the SCWC shows a Tuscan ruspone of 1791.
Recorded mintage: unknown.
Specification: 14.62 g, 0.882 fine silver, 33 mm diameter.
