DENMARK. Gold Gulden (Ungersk Gylden) Klippe, 1563. Copenhagen Mint. Frederik II. NGC MS-61.Fr-21; Hede-1; Sieg-27; Schou-1; Bruun-4418. Weight: 3.76 gms. Mintmaster: Johan of Vilna (Hans de Willers). A lovely Mint State Klippe, with bright luster and limited handling.<p><em>This klippe was struck in a number of 15,504 specimens to finance expenses in connection with the sudden outbreak of the Northern Seven Years War. They where rather crudely minted on unevenly cut flans and it is extremely rare to find an example this nicely centered and struck on a broad flan.</em><p>From the L. E. Bruun Collection.<p>Ex: Joh. G. Guildal Collection (Private Sale - 1918); later published by the Danish Numismatic Society as item 376 in his collection.
