Lady luck on the reverse. The city of Glückstadt (literally: City of luck) had been founded by Christian IV only eight years earlier, in 1616. The idea was to create a Danish rival to the important City of Hamburg. Promising settlers tax exemption and, radically for the time, freedom of religion, the city soon flourished, becoming the home of the first Jewish settlers in Denmark. Many of the coins struck at Glückstadt depict Lady Luck standing on a globe. Estimate: €400 - €500. Provenance: From the L.E. Bruun Collection.
