DENMARK. Speciedaler, 1666. Gluckstadt Mint. Frederik III. NGC Unc Details--Reverse Cleaned.
KM-51; Dav-3673; Hede-148; Sieg-156; Schou-20; Aagaard-11.2; not in Lange; Bruun-6558. Weight: 28.59 gms. Mintmaster: Johan Woltereck (IW). Although possibly ever so lightly cleaned at one point, this example, with its multicolored tone around the obverse legends, is absolutely enchanting. The only other known example rests in the National Museum of Denmark. The figure of Fortuna has been added to the reverse die with a punch instead of being engraved directly in the die. This seems to be the earliest use of a punch this large in Danish coin production.
From the L. E. Bruun Collection.
