Tranquebar and the Danish West indies.
An up to 1996 completely unknown King Hans, half Gylden, (lot 37) is brought for sale
and is the only existing specimen in private collections. Further, you will find the very
rare christian iii’s Gottorp, Rhinsk Gylden, (lot 50) with a brilliant provenance.
A unique, in both public and private collections, Mark, christianstad, struck in copper,
from christian V, is offered (lot 164). An exceptional numismatic specimen.
From Norway you will find the rare christian iV, 2 Speciedaler (lot 329) in extremely
good condition. Frederik iii’s very rare ½ Speciedaler, (lot 335) is only known in four
specimens of this is probably the finest in private collections. christian V’s 2 Dukat

christian V 1671, convex medal (lot 386), the extremely rare war medal from
Frederik iV (lot 388) and finally the beautiful christian Vi anointment medal (lot 375)
