DENMARK. Ducat Klippe, 1564. Copenhagen (Bremerholm) Mint. Frederik II. NGC AU-53.
Fr-22; H-4. Mintage: 1,399. Weight: 3.23 gms. Nordic Seven Years' War issue. Obverse: Crowned and garnished coat-of-arms; Reverse: I / DOG / KATE / 1564 in four lines. Already a VERY RARE issue on account of its rather paltry mintage figure, this type is that much more difficult to encounter, with what appears to be an exceptionally low survival rate. Quite accordingly, just one other example has been seen at NGC (an MS-61 that realized a total of nearly $22,000 in early 2021), though one which, despite the somewhat higher grade, undoubtedly appears far less attractive than the present example with respect to overall surface quality and allure. As such, the offering featured here should assuredly be seen as a premium-quality example that will tantalize the advanced collector of world gold or emergency-related strikings.

Estimate: $15000.00- $20000.00
