Description

DENMARK. 2 Ducats, 1687. Copenhagen Mint. Christian V. NGC Unc Details--Obverse Graffiti.
Fr-152; KM-390; Hede-15; Sieg-120; Schou-3; Bruun-7030. Weight: 7.00 gms. Mintmaster: Gregorius Sesemann (GS). VERY RARE and a most sought type, this intricate 2 Ducats displays a resounding luster that delivers an overrunning of brilliance when held in the light. The graffiti mentioned by NGC arises from some indistinct characters lightly etched on the obverse, a difficult feature to pick up unless held at the proper angle. This issue is relatively minor in how it impacts the overall presentability of the coin. A type that captures the beauty of numismatics, with the stunning reverse design being particularly awe inspiring.
From the L. E. Bruun Collection.

Estimate: $100000
