DENMARK. Largesse 1/12 Specie Daler Klippe, 1648. Frederik III. PCGS AU-58.
KM-159; Sieg-64; H-49. Weight: 2.32 gms. 19 mm x 19.5 mm. Obverse: Laureate bust of Frederik III right, legend around, date below; Reverse: Incense burner, legend around. This wholly original looking and lovely little minor exhibits a pleasing rich old cabinet patina. The surfaces display an attractive slate patina in the protected areas while the exposed fields and high points are a dove gray coloration, all complemented by a slight iridescent sheen that pops out when tilted in the light. Boldly struck, this handsome companion piece to the 1/6 Specie Daaler in this sale, is far nicer than normally encountered when compared to other examples from this series and should be considered RARE in this high state of preservation.
Estimate: $1000 - $1500
