NORWAY. Specie Daler, 1662. Frederik III (1648-70). PCGS Genuine--Environmental Damage, AU Details Secure Holder.
Dav-3611; KM-56; Sieg-46; H-41. From the reign of Frederick III of Denmark. EXCEEDINGLY RARE, the last auction appearance in May, 2013 (Bruun Rasmussen - Auction 840, Lot 252) saw an example realize €34,869. Their coin was in essentially the same grade as ours, but without problems. The piece offered here has a splendid portrait but light reverse corrosion, with almost-uncirculated details as indicated by the PCGS label. Struck the year of the 1662 Vardo Witch Trails in Norway. The trials spanned a considerable portion of the 17th century, simultaneous to the witch trials in Salem, Massachusetts. The 1662 trail resulted in 20 being burned alive at the stake or tortured to death, for alleged sorcery and making pacts with the devil. A RARE, historically rich, and seldom offered coin housed in an extra thick PCGS holder. PCGS Genuine--Environmental Damage, AU Details Secure Holder.
Estimate: $10000.00- $15000.00
