DENMARK. Kronerigsdaler (6 Mark), 1732. Copenhagen Mint. Christian VI. NGC MS-64+.
KM-539; Dav-1295; NMD-1; Hede-5; Sieg-6; Schou-2; Bruun-7569. Weight: 26.84 gms. Mintmaster: Christian Wineke. Engraver: Georg Wilhelm Wahl. This enticing nearly-Gem "Travel-Taler" is detailed with a razor-sharp clarity that is cutting with precision. Light brilliance glows off the flan, with touches of onyx color mottled throughout. As one of the rarest dated "travel-talers" interest should be strong, especially when considering the stunning condition. The EXTREME RARITY of this Travel-Taler (Rejsedaler) arises from the king's travel to Norway, originally planned for 1732, being postponed to the following year. Of the approximately 4,500 originally minted, almost all were melted except for 11 examples. A little over half of these have survived, with only three confirmed in private collections.
From the L. E. Bruun Collection. Ex: Countship of Brahesminde Collection (Private Sale - 1922) Ex: King Frederik VI Collection (Acquired - 1812). Ex: Henrik Hielmstierne Collection (Private Sale - 1812); published in 1786 as No. 2 in his collection.

Estimate: $30000
