SWEDEN. 2 Riksdaler, 1727. Stockholm Mint. Fredrik I. NGC MS-61.
KM-400; Dav-1721; SM-58b(56); Delzanno-3; not in Hagander; Bruun Auction-1854; Bruun-12775. Weight: 57.96 gms. Edge lettering: MANIBVS NE LAEDAR AVARIS ("May I not be damaged by avaricious hands"). Mintmaster: Esaias Zedritz, engraver: Daniel Haesling. Mintage: 63. EXCEEDINGLY RARE and so thoroughly engrossing and engaging is this 2 Riksdaler that it leaves one with a sense of wonderment and awe. The impressive heft of the piece is evidence upon handling it, with the rich details being well-applied, with only a few light wisps of weakness. Dusky tone clings to the surfaces, with luster shining through, and flashes of light plum and peach color accenting the overall battleship gray. About as handsome or desirable as any coin to have ever been produced by Sweden, and consequently, near the top of the desirability scale.
