DENMARK. Gold 2 Ducats, ND (1670-99). Copenhagen Mint. Christian V. NGC MS-64.
Fr-204; KM-458; Hede-56; Sieg-114; Schou-12; Bruun-7243. Weight: 6.87 gms. EXCESSIVELY RARE with only a very few in private hands. A genuinely superb jewel of a coin on which the level of detail in the city view makes you dream you could be there. Underneath the text "Hafnia Dania" (Copenhagen - Denmark) is shown a magnificent view of the capital seen from the harbor, from which it clearly emerges that it was not without a reason that Copenhagen was dubbed, "City of Towers". The amusing obverse with the personification of the winds blowing from the clouds over a monogrammed pyramid, bears the legend: NEC VI NEC METU ("Neither with violence, nor fear") referring to the just reign of the king.
From the L. E. Bruun Collection. Ex: Countship of Brahesminde Collection (Private Sale - 1922). Ex: Peter v. Hemmert Collection (Copenhagen - 2/1807) Lot # 192.

Estimate: $30000
