Stack's Bowers sale of the L. E. Bruun Collection, lot 1081
SB924-1081r.jpg

This specimen was lot 1081 in Stack's Bowers sale of the L. E. Bruun Collection (Copenhagen, September 2024), where it sold for €102,000 (about US$113,037 including buyer's fees). The catalog description[1] noted,

"Handsome 5 Ducats with Stunningly Appealing Luster, DENMARK. 1/2 Portugaloser (5 Ducats), 1665. Copenhagen Mint. Frederik III. NGC MS-61. Mintmaster: Gotfred Krüger (GK). Engraver: Jeremias Hercules. A gleaming and superb example, meticulously struck as would be expected from a presentation piece. Only a handful of examples are known of which half are privately owned. The obverse die was later used in the production of 2 Mark silver coins (Aagaard 149), whereas the elegant reverse is known only as a presentation pattern in silver and as 5 Ducats presumably for the personal use of the king. Ex: Countship of Brahesminde Collection (Private Sale - 1922). Ex: Peter v. Hemmert Collection (Copenhagen - 2/1807) Lot # 96."

The only other Danish gold coin for 1665 is a tiny 3 marck Danske (Fr-129) although we note a rare ducat from Norway (Fr-4).

Recorded mintage: unknown.

Specification: 17.46 g, 0.979 fine gold, this specimen 17.46 g.

Catalog reference: Fr-81; KM-253; Hede-72; Sieg-140A; Schou-4; Aagaard-147.1; Bruun-6436.
