SWEDEN. Gold 16 Mark, 1615. Stockholm Mint. Gustav II Adolf. NGC AU-53.
Fr-28: KM-68; SM-5(6); SG-6: Hagander-65; Bruun-11749. Weight: 4.95 gms. Mintmaster: Gillis (Julius) Coyet the younger. An EXTREMELY RARE one-year type (Hagander mentions 'an insignificant emission') with probably no more than four specimens in private hands. This lightly handled 16 Mark offers a pleasing eye appeal and is rather handsome. The coin exudes a soft brilliance, with the luster most notable in the protected areas of the design. Wear is limited to the highest portions of the design, and the flan is charmingly free of major flaws or marking. An impressive piece on both preservation and rarity.
