This specimen was lot 21086 in Heritage sale 3008 (New York, January 2010), where it sold for $3,737.50. The catalog description[1] noted, "Denmark. Frederik VI gold 2 Frederik d'Or 1833-FF, MS63 NGC, light original toning with full mint bloom, very rare grade for this type and easily the finest we have offered." This coin is from a series begun in 1828 during the reign of Frederick VI. This type was struck 1829-36. Since 1513, the kings of Denmark have alternated between the names Frederick and Christian; when Fredericks VI and VII ruled, this coin was called a double frederiks d'or; when Christians VIII and IX ruled, it was called a double christians d'or. It was the same size and weight as a Prussian doppelter friedrichs d'or (KM 371, KM 398, KM 415, KM 442) and a Saxon gold five thalers (KM 1054, KM 1102, KM 1113, KM 1123, KM 1143). All the Danish issues are rare today. In 1874, Danish coinage underwent a decimal reform and Denmark joined the Scandinavian Monetary Union. The christians d'or was superseded by the 20 kroner.
