SWEDEN. 4 Ducats, 1846. Stockholm Mint. Oscar I. NGC MS-62 Prooflike.
Fr-88; KM-670; SM-1(1); SG-1; Hagander-656; Bruun auction-2253; Bruun-13444. Weight: 13.94 gms. Mintmaster: Alexander Grandinson (AG). Engraver: Ludvig Persson Lundgren. Mintage: 400. A brilliant example that is clearly special in manufacture, this 4 Ducats delivers all the features one might expect for such a format with double striking of the details and a refined finish that is distinguished from regular strikes. A touch of weakness is seen on the lowest peripheries, perhaps arising from die degradation. The bright reflective surfaces do display some evidence of handling, with this accounting for the overall technical grade; though given its status as a distinguished and uncommon representative, it really has no peer.
