Selections from the Eric P. Newman Collection of World Coins. Carl X Gustaf Riksdaler 1654, Stockholm mint, KM214, SM-14a (without stars on the reverse), MS63 NGC. A most impressive example of this very rare Riksdaler with aged deep gray patina and superb design details. Mint state specimens of this one-year type are virtually unknown and this piece exhibits exceptional eye appeal. Carl X became King upon the abdication of Queen Christina in 1654 and spent most of his time directing military incursions in northern Germany.
Estimate: 10000-12500 USD
