SWEDEN. Riksdaler, 1723. Stockholm Mint. Fredrik I. NGC MS-65.
KM-394; Dav-Unlisted; SM-61(59); Delzanno-9; Hagander-392; Bruun-12756. Weight: 29.16 gms. Edge lettering: MANIBVS NE LAEDAR AVARIS ("May I not be damaged by avaricious hands"). Approximate Mintage: 32. Originating from the so-called "Krell" coinage, a series produced under the aegis of Paul Krell with 1/2 Riksdaler dies struck in double weight. The special care in production of this type is evident, with details boldly applied to the glossily lustrous flan. Mottled tone highlights the surfaces, with a soft steely gray seen in the open fields and more vibrant blue and purples around the devices and legends. When held in the light, the surfaces swim and dance with vibrance, and surfaces are clean as the Gem grade would suggest. A coin with a regal look that should command a royal price.
