SWEDEN. Ducat, 1750. Stockholm Mint. Fredrik I. NGC MS-63+.
Fr-66; KM-458; SM-42(42); SG-54; Hagander-379; Bruun auction-1842; Bruun-12944. Weight: 3.46 gms. Mintmaster: Hans Malmberg (HM). Engraver: Daniel Fehrman. The rising sun on the reverse indicates that the gold used for this mintage was obtained in the East Indies, adding a distinguishing touch and uniting the collecting interests of those who pursue coinage from both Europe and Asia. Conditionally, this Ducat is unsurpassed on the NGC Census, being the sole finest representative of the ever-popular type. The rising sun motif is most apt, given the sunny nature of the surfaces that largely escape any major signs of handling or contact. A piece that reaches out and grabs the attention of all those collectors of rare golden treasures.
