NORWAY. 2 Speciedaler, 1638. Christiania Mint. Christian IV. NGC AU

Phenomenally Pedigreed and Excessively Rare NORWAY. 2 Speciedaler, 1638. Christiania Mint. Christian IV. NGC AU Details--Cleaned. Dav-3532; KM-13; Hede-7A; Sieg-18.1; NMD-16; Delzanno-16; Schou-1; Bruun-9385. Weight: 57.73 gms. Mintmaster: Anders Pedersen. Exceptionally pleasant example with superb details. All Double Speciedalers from Christian IV are rare or very rare, but the 1638 is excessively so, with the only other example being in the Danish National Museum. Apart from the already impressive pedigree of Bruun, Bille-Brahe and Schubart, this piece has an especially rare and interesting provenance having belonged to the Countess Georgine von Buchwaldt Moltke. After her death in 1808 her husband, Joachim Godske Moltke (Prime Minister of Denmark 1814 - 1818) decided that her collection of coins of medals should be sold and the proceeds should be offered as a donation for the reconstruction of the Danish Fleet that had been commandeered by the English in 1807 during the Napoleonic wars. Estimate: €20,000 - €25,000. Provenance: From the L.E. Bruun Collection. Ex: Countship of Brahesminde Collection (Private Sale - 1922). Ex: C. F. Schubart (Copenhagen - 1831) Lot # 618. Ex: Georgine Moltke Collection (Copenhagen - 1811) Lot # 373. To view supplemental information and all items from the L.E. Bruun Collection, click here. Please note: Bid amounts do not include VAT.
