Mounting traces visible on the reverse. The city of Glückstadt (literally: City of luck) had been founded by Christian IV only seven years earlier, in 1616. The idea was to create a Danish rival to the important City of Hamburg.

Many of the coins struck at Glückstadt depict Lady Luck standing on a globe. Estimate: €400 - €600. Provenance: From the L.E. Bruun Collection. Ex: Joh. G.
