Denmark: Christian IV gold Sovereign (3 Guilder) 1608 MS62 NGC,...
Description
Imposing Early Danish Rarity
Christian IV gold Sovereign (3 Guilder) 1608 MS62 NGC,
Elsinore mint, KM-A47, Fr-35, Bruun-4773. 10.04gm. Mintmaster: Hans
Flemming. An absolute ghost of a type, with nary a registered
public sale beyond this Bruun specimen. Even the
denomination--sometimes referred to as 3 Goldgulden, 3 Hungarian
Guilders, or a Sovereign--is seldom seen. Flashes of orange-peel
luster grace the immaculate surfaces. The sharp strike allows for
every detail of the busy devices on the evenly balanced flan to be
observed and enjoyed. A treat for the early seventeenth-century
gold specialist.Ex. L. E. Bruun Collection (Stack's Bowers, September 2024, Lot 1021); Frederik Christian Bech (1906, Lot 153)
