SWEDEN. Penny (Bracteate), ND (1167-93). Sigtuna Mint(?). Knut Eriksson. PCGS AU-58. Llt-1A:1a; SMB-4; Frösell-8; Bruun Auction-80. A VERY RARE type, depicting a half length depiction of the king holding fleur de Lis scepter and either a ciborium of perhaps a model of a church. Surrounding him are three letters: I, V, and A, an abbreviation whose meaning is lost to time, for now. An exceptional example with strong designs and evident luster and minimal visible wear; decidedly finer than that Bruun example with realized €10,200 when it sold in March 2025. Estimate: €6,000 - €8,000. “NOTICE TO EU BUYERS: This lot is temporarily imported into Denmark and, following the auction, must be returned to the United States to close the temporary import. If purchased by an EU buyer, the lot may subsequently be shipped from our California office to Europe; all applicable import VAT, Margin Scheme “brugtmoms”, duties, customs charges, and related fees will be the responsibility of the buyer.” Click here for certification details from PCGS.
