This specimen was lot 31255 in Heritage sale 3029 (New York, January 2014), where it sold for $246.75. The catalog description[1] noted, "Frederick VI Speciedaler 1839 IC-WS, XF40 NGC. Light gray toning, with some tiny contact marks and wear on the high points." Danish currency endured several "reforms" in the nineteenth century. Until 1813, 1 ducat = 2 speciedaler = 12 mark = 192 skilling Danske. After the reform of 1813, 1 frederiks d'or = 5 speciedaler = 10 rigsbankdaler = 960 rigsbankskilling. In 1854, the speciedaler was dropped but the remaining denominations were unchanged. In 1874, all the old denominations were terminated in favor of one krone = 100 øre, which system is still in use, tho the krone is no longer silver. King Frederik VI ruled 1808-39.

Recorded mintage: unknown.

Specification: 28.89 g, 0.875 fine silver, .812 troy oz ASW, lettered edge.

Catalog reference: Dav-73; KM-695.4.
