This specimen was lot 108 in Sincona sale 46 (Zürich, May 2018), where it did not sell. The catalog description[1] noted,
"Brandenburg/Prussia, Friedrich II. 1740-1786. Friedrichs dor 1752 A, Berlin. Nackte Büste nach rechts. Rv. Gekrönter Adler auf Fahnen und Waffen, oben die Jahreszahl 1752, unten Münzzeichen A. Sehr schön. Kleine Kratzer. (Germany, kingdom of Prussia, Frederick II, 1740-86, frederick d'or of 1752, Berlin mint. Obverse: bare bust to right; reverse: crowned eagle rising over piled arms dividing the date, mintmark below. Very fine, Small scratches.)"
Altho Frederick began his reign by minting ducats, in 1741 he switched to friedrichs d'or, a renamed version of the wilhelm d'or minted by his father. The early issues are rare but the coin later came to be quite common and was imitated by other North German states as a five thaler gold coin. This type was struck 1752-58 and 1763. A uniformed bust type (Fr-2381) also exists for 1752.
Recorded mintage: unknown.
