DENMARK. 2 Gold Krone, 1629. Copenhagen Mint. Christian IV. NGC Unc

Eminently Lustrous and One of Only Two Known DENMARK. 2 Gold Krone, 1629. Copenhagen Mint. Christian IV. NGC Unc Details--Obverse Graffiti. Fr-Unlisted; KM-111; Hede-28; Sieg-135; Harck-30.2.1; Schou-5; Bruun-5588. Weight: 5.97 gms. An eminently lustrous example with a slight gold toning near the edge. A small cross-shaped graffitto is noted in the obverse left field, as well as certain "irregularities" from the minting process, including a die break that might explain the extreme rarity of this date.

After less than half a year, their right to produce coins was withdrawn. Estimate: €15,000 - €20,000. Provenance: From the L.E. Bruun Collection.
