Carl XI Restrike Riksdaler 1676-Dated MS63 NGC, Stockholm mint, KM280, Dav-4538, AAH-52b, cf. Hagander-269 (for original). Early 19th-century restrike from original dies. A type which can quite simply be said to benefit enormously as a high-quality restrike owing to its exquisite engraving and detailed design--features so often lacking from the often well-circulated originals. Although the exact purposes that the issue was reminted from original dies in the early 1800s and then in again in 1909 are not entirely known, that fact that the initial production run in 1676 saw only 791 pieces struck suggests that collector demand played a key role. Appearing watery and nearly Specimen-like over the surfaces, each element of Meybusch's artistry is captured in elegant style, these blanked by an aura sky-blue and violet on the obverse that bleeds into sunset orange and rosaceous hues on the reverse. Though designated as a 1909 restrike on the holder, we would note that this coin seems to match the diagnostics for the early 19th-century restrikes provided by Ahlström, Almer, and Hemmingsson as well as those of the Cape Coral example we sold in January, with a copper piece in Myntauktioner i Sverige AB's Auction 19 (lot 296)--which they cited as similar to the 1909 restrikes--showing more extensive die rust, as would be expected with the additional century past since the dies were first cut.
