DENMARK. Speciedaler, 1704. Copenhagen Mint. Frederik IV. PCGS AU-58.
KM-480.1; Dav-1288; Hede-34A. Mintage: 309. Lettered Edge variety. Exquisitely engraved, this RARE issue possesses a complimentary strike that renders the designs sharp with surrounding fields that gleam with shallow reflectivity. Pale purple and orange tone add to the superb overall appearance on the obverse, with the color deepening a touch on the reverse. While light handling can be identified upon close inspection, none interferes when the coin is viewed in hand, resulting in eye appeal that certainly rivals those in Mint State. Truly, a lovely item, certainly to excite the collector focused on the elusive crown-sized issues of Scandinavia.
Estimate: $6500 - $8500
