DENMARK. 10 Ducats (Portugaloser), ND (1668-69). Copenhagen Mint. Frederik III. NGC MS-63★.
Fr-Unlisted; KM-Unlisted; Hede-80B (mistakenly listed as 80A); Sieg-96.2; Schou-3; Aagaard-119.2; Bruun-6736. Weight: 34.46 gms. Mintmaster: Gotfred Krüger. The only other example known is in the National Museum of Denmark (Beskrivelsen 884, Pl. XIX,4). An immensely attractive monumental showpiece and a true numismatic treasure, this example is of unsurpassable beauty with shimmering fields and delicately frosted devices. This 10 Ducat was struck with the same dies that were used for the Speciedaler 1669, which carried the date on the edge.
From the L. E. Bruun Collection. Ex: Countship of Brahesminde Collection (Private Sale - 1922).
