Frederik III gold 1/2 Ducat ND (c. 1669) AU58 NGC, Christiana mint, KM81, Fr-5, ABH-7. Very rare and especially difficult to locate without holes or mount removals, this example exhibits deep tone for a gold coin, particularly in recesses throughout the devices. Faint adjustments may be found on both sides as well as a touch of waviness in the reverse fields caused by the relief of the obverse bust, but neither detracts significantly from the overall eye-appeal. With the combination of quality and rarity, this is a true prize for the collector of the Early Modern gold coinage of Scandinavia.
Estimate: 15000-20000 USD
