Most Handsome and Extremely Rare Double Taler
NORWAY. 2 Speciedaler, 1653-FG. Christiania mint. Frederik III. NGC EF-45.
Dav-3591; KM-46; Hede-15; Sieg-25; NMD-38; Aagaard-40.2 (53-2/53-2); Schou-17; Bruun-9659. Weight: 57.26 gms. Mintmaster: Frederik Grüner. A most handsome and problem free piece with unusually fine details, demonstrated for instance by the mane of the lion. Extremely rare.
