Mintmaster: Nicolaus Schwabe (NS). A formidable exemplar of this very rare and majestic piece. <p><em>In an entry of March 31st the king wrote in one of his diaries that he had received 140 Speciedalers from Schwabe which he had struck from Norwegian silver. Even though there might have been silver from other sources in the alloy there can be little doubt that the beautiful 1624-series is the first of the Danish/Norwegian coins to be struck from silver actually mined at Kongsberg Silver Works which was founded shortly after finding silver ores in the cliffs in the summer of 1623.</em>From the L. E. Bruun Collection.<p>Ex: Joh. G. Guildal Collection (Private Sale - 1918); later published by the Danish Numismatic Society as item 744 in his collection.<p>Ex: Alfred Benzon Collection (Copenhagen - 1887) Lot # 554.<p><p>
