NORWAY. Speciedaler, 1652. Christiania Mint. Frederik III. NGC AU Details--Obverse Tooled.
KM-cf. A46; Dav-cf. 3592; Hede-14; Sieg-24; NMD-73; Schou-8; Aagaard-41.1 (52-3/52-3); Bruun-9648. Weight: 28.69 gms. Mintmaster: Frederik Grüner (FG). EXTREMELY RARE with only a very few in private hands. Light tooling is visible in the fields on both the obverse and reverse, but there is very little wear, which accounts for the grade. This splendid rarity was acquired by Aug. Krautwald for Bruun in the 1914 auction of tanner Lauritz Christian Petersen (1859-1927). Petersen, who contributed to his own catalog with many interesting numismatic observations himself, was first and foremost a collector of medieval coins of which Bruun bought many in the following sale of 1917.
From the L. E. Bruun Collection. Ex: Lauritz C. Petersen Collection (Sagførernes Auktioner, Copenhagen - 5/1914) Lot # 843.

Estimate: $30000
