SWEDEN. 4 Ducats, 1838. Stockholm Mint. Karl XIV Johan. NGC MS-64.
Fr-85; KM-645; SM-2(2); SG-2; Hagander-584; Bruun-13388. Weight: 13.93 gms. Mintmaster: Alexander Grandinson (AG). Engraver: Ludvig Persson Lundgren. Mintage: 625. With a paltry mintage that does not surpass the four figure benchmark, any example of an 1838 4 Ducats should be treasured, especially one in a near-Gem grade. The surfaces are aglow with luster, and the fields are nicely reflective in contrast to the lightly frosted devices.
From the L. E. Bruun Collection.
