NORWAY. Speciedaler, 1641. Christiania Mint. Christian IV. NGC MS-64. Dav-3534; KM-12; Sieg-16.1; H-5A. An exceptional specimen, this near-Gem offers fully white surfaces across vividly struck devices and legends. Full strikes from this period are uncommon, and this example has one of the nicest reverses of any example seen. Some evidence of roughness of planchet is seen in the fields, but even so these flaws are so inconsequential that they should hardly be worthy of mention. This example is the finest graded Speciedaler for the type on either NGC or PCGS population reports, and is worthy of a premium bid from the most advanced of European crown collectors.
