NORWAY. Krone (4 Mark), 1693-PG. Christiania mint. Christian V. NGC AU-55.
Dav-3663; KM-148.1; Sieg-38; Ahl-75; H-55. A boldly struck survivor much nicer than normally encountered displaying rich grey tone complemented by a lovely light iridescent sheen of sunset hues. A wholesome and original looking example that appears to have been plucked from circulation early on and saved certain to catch to the attention of discerning collectors.
We note that several inferior examples in a November 2016 Scandinavian auction graded F-VF each brought over $1100- hammer plus the buyer fee.
Estimate: $1000.00- $1500.00
