The medal depicts the front of the so-called First Christiansborg. It was built on the site of the old Copenhagen Castle, parts of which were as old as 1167. This new Christiansborg Palace burned down in 1794 and a second Christiansborg was erected. That, too, burned down, in 1894, and while a third Christiansborg Palace was erected and finished in 1927, it is not longer the home of the royal family but the seat of the parliament. After the fire in 1794, the royal family moved to the nearby Amalienborg Palace, which remains their Copenhagen home to this day. Estimate: €240 - €300. Provenance: From the L.E. Bruun Collection.
