Christian IX Proof 2 Rigsdaler 1872 HC-CS PR67 NGC, Copenhagen mint, KM772.2 (unlisted in Proof), Hede-2B, Sieg-5. Exceptionally rare in this supreme Gem Proof format, and one of only two so described (both previously uncertified) to have appeared at auction in recent decades. While the type appears largely unrecorded in Proof format, and thus lacks a Proof mintage, the figure cannot have been large, as the date--one of only two for the type--carries a total production run a fourth of that of the 1871. Unsurprisingly the single finest certified, with the only other Proof ranking as a PR63 from NGC.
