SWEDEN. Ducat, 1804. Stockholm Mint. Gustav IV Adolf. NGC MS-65.
Fr-80; KM-567; SM-15(15); SG-22; Hagander-551; Bruun auction-2112; Bruun-13208. Weight: 3.47 gms. Mintmaster: Olof Lidijn (OL). Engraver: Lars Grandel. A RARE variant (mintage: 1,254) minted in gold from the Swedish province of Dalarna, this Ducat can add beauty to its list of attributes. Lustrous and glistening with a sunny luster, and no sign of fault seen excepting the slightest imperfections under magnification. About as sharp as one might expect to see a Ducat of this period, this example stands alone as the sole finest representative on the NGC census.
From the L. E. Bruun Collection.
Ex: Countship of Brahesminde Collection (Private Sale - 1922).
Estimate: $12000 - $16000
