Lot 536
Denmark. 2 Speciedaler, 1747. Dav-1298; Cr-17. 57.8 grams. Frederick V. King on throne under canopy. Reverse: Crowned and supported arms on base. Unusually sharp for this issue, and toned in charming shades of mauve and gray. Rare. NGC graded MS-62.
A very important coin since it is the only Double Speciedaler minted by Denmark in the 18th century. Its double size is probably due to inflation running strong in Europe at the time.
Estimated Value $2,500 - 3,000.
