Commanding and Fascinating Unique Triple Taler - A Once in a Lifetime Opportunity
NORWAY. 3 Speciedaler, 1652-FG. Christiania Mint. Frederik III. NGC AU Details--Cleaned.
Dav-A3589; KM-39; Hede-10B; Sieg-23.2; NMD-19; Aagaard-36.1; Schou-2; Bruun-9644. Weight: 86.17 gms. Mintmaster: Frederik Grüner. Engraver: Hans zum Busch. Even though the Bruun collection abound with rarities of the highest caliber, this majestic Triple Speciedaler is almost in a league of its own being not only unique in private ownership but actually the only example in existence. As the Double Speciedaler of the same type (Aagaard-37.1) is only known from public collections (Copenhagen, St. Peterburg), it is safe to say that this is a once in a lifetime opportunity to acquire a genuinely unique piece of Norwegian numismatic history. The fact that the condition for such a hefty coin is way superior to what could be expected does only add to its desirability.
From the L. E. Bruun Collection.
Ex: Countship of Brahesminde Collection (Private Sale - 1922).
Estimate: 120000 - 160000
