SWEDEN. Ducat, 1728. Stockholm Mint. Fredrik I. NGC MS-65.
Fr-59; KM-A401; SM-13(13); SG-21; Hagander-353; Bruun auction-1829; Bruun-12780. Weight: 3.46 gms. Mintmaster: Esaias Zwdritz; engraver: Johann Carl Hedlinger. Mintage: 2,874. A stunningly lustrous Gem, this Ducat glows with a shining appeal, with soft brilliance emanating from the flan and a generally sunny color. The details are alluring, with good strike quality on a flan that still shows many original die striations, some of the only notable features on surfaces that pleasingly free of marks. A Ducat that looks essentially as nice as it did the day it was struck.
From the L. E. Bruun Collection. Ex: Countship of Brahesminde Collection (Private Sale - 1922).

Estimate: $15000
