DENMARK. 2 Krone, 1651. Copenhagen Mint; Privy Mark: Poker. Frederik III. NGC AU-58.

A splendid example with an impressive luster and a lovely golden toning near the rim. EXCESSIVELY RARE as a 2 Krone with less than ten known examples in both public and private collections combined. This variant presumably unique in private hands. The same die combination was also used to produce the regular Krone.
