SWEDEN. Ducat, 1726. Stockholm Mint. Fredrik I. NGC MS-62.
Fr-58; KM-398; SM-10(10): SG-18; not in Hagander; Bruun-12769. Weight: 3.48 gms. Mintmaster: Esaias Zedritz. Mintage: 1,283. An EXTREMELY RARE type that is hardly ever seen in auction, with this particular date likely the rarest. Demonstrating alluring eye appeal and charm, this nearly-Choice Ducat demonstrates a brilliant essence of soft luster that is more reserved than flashy. The strike is nice, with only a touch of weakness on the higher elements of the design. As one of the more uncommon Swedish Ducats, this handsome example certainly does not lack for appeal.
