Frederik IV Krone 1700-(h) AU58 NGC, Copenhagen mint, KM448, Dav-A1287, Hede-36, Sieg-17. An interesting Danish small crown type that originated in the Eric P. Newman collection and boasts splendid originality. The obverse displays the baroque coiffed portrait of Frederik IV, with the reverse displaying the arms of Denmark, Norway, and Sweden interspersed through crowned monograms, making this one of the more striking designs of the Frederik IV series, beautifully toned in a light lavender with iridescent overtones. There is very light evidence of circulation over the high points of a firm strike, with a number tiny imperfections as is typical of this issue, though far fewer than normally encountered. Ex. Eric P. Newman Collection (Heritage January Signature Sale 3029, Lot 30480)
