DENMARK. Speciedaler, 1849. Copenhagen Mint. Frederik VII. NGC MS-67.
KM-744.1; Dav-76; Hede-4A; Sieg-6.1; Schou-1; Bruun-8197. Weight: 28.77 gms. Mintmaster: Georg Vilhelm Svendsen (VS). Engraver: Frederik Christopher Krohn (FK). A Superb-Gem and superbly pleasing, this Speciedaler immediately engages the eyes and is rather alluring. Gentle blue toning plays nicely with the satiny luster that dances when held in the light. The fields are generally free of mark or strafe, with the details being crisp and engrossing. The distinction in the devices and the overall surface quality give this piece the appearance of an example that was specially produced distinct from other Speciedalers of this date.
From the L. E. Bruun Collection.

Estimate: $7000
