SWEDEN. 2 Riksdaler, 1633. Stockholm Mint. Gustav II Adolf. NGC MS-62.
KM-156; Dav-LS585; SM-27(22); Delzanno-11; not in Hagander; Bruun auction-783; Bruun-11904. Weight: 56.77 gms. Sometimes attributed to Augsburg in Bavaria, Germany, the obverse of this impressive Double Taler shows the king on a prancing horse, a lovely view of the city of Augsburg in the background, while the reverse shows the royal coat of arms surrounded by an impressive array of 30 smaller coats or arms of Swedish provinces. An unbelievably well preserved specimen dated the year after the king's death, and a coin whose beauty is perhaps only surpassed by its rarity.
From the L. E. Bruun Collection. Ex: Countship of Brahesminde Collection (Private Sale - 1922). Ex: Alex A. Fröling Collection (Stockholm - 1857) Lot # 239.
