Selections from the Eric P. Newman Collection of World Coins. Johan III Daler 1575, Stockholm mint, SM-25, Dav-8705, XF45 NGC. A splendid example of this early Daler with exceptionally sharp design features and rich cabinet patina. The surfaces display a reflective sheen which only increases the extraordinary eye appeal. A classic 16th century crown. Johan III was the second son of Gustaf Vasa and was Duke of Finland from 1556-1563 when he was imprisoned for opposing his brother, Eric XIV. After the demise of Erik, Johan III became King in 1568 and ruled until his death in 1592.

Estimate: 3000-4000 USD
