SWEDEN. Riksdaler, 1597. Stockholm Mint. Karl (IX), Duke of Sodermanland. NGC AU-55.
Dav-8712; SM-14(14); Delzanno-10: Hagander-45 (die match); Bruun auction-651; Bruun-11682. Weight: 28.83 gms. This Riksdaler is the only denomination struck in Stockholm by Karl IX as duke, and all his coins are rare today. It is the first Swedish coin to have supporters for the shield, a feature that became standard on Riksdalers from 1654 to 1748; we do note the lion tucking his tail between his legs, an intriguing feature. The surfaces display a warm appeal, with nice strike quality and soft amber hues throughout. A piece that presents quite nicely, and as such, one that will capture much attention.
