DENMARK. 2 Ducat, MDCXCII (1692). Copenhagen Mint. Christian V. NGC

Excessively Rare Contemporary Strike with Considerable Luster DENMARK. 2 Ducat, MDCXCII (1692). Copenhagen Mint. Christian V. NGC AU Details--Bent. Fr-143; KM-419; Hede-33; Sieg-123; Schou-3; Kold-145c; Bruun-7093. Weight: 6.89 gms. Mintmaster: Christian Wineke. Engraver: Anton Meybusch (A. MEIBUS.F). In spite of the somewhat wavy flan, a highly very attractive piece with considerable original luster remaining. Of the utmost importance and rarity. The reverse of this particular variant (Schou-3) clearly differs from the die preserved at the Danish National Museum, and the remarkable provenance reaching into the 18th century further excludes any idea that this could be a restrike. Anton Meybusch (born c. 1645 in Essen - died May 2nd 1702 in Copenhagen) was a remarkable engraver of both coins and medals, and before coming to Copenhagen in 1691 he had done exquisite works in Sweden, Baden-Württemberg, Hamburg and even for three years for the Sun King, Louis XIV of France. Equally important to his artistic work were the massive technical improvements that were implemented at the Royal Mint in Copenhagen under his direction. The present type is the first Danish coin by his hand. Estimate: €18,000 - €23,000. Provenance: From the L.E. Bruun Collection. Ex: Countship of Brahesminde Collection (Private Sale - 1922). Ex: Peter v. Hemmert Collection (Copenhagen - 1807) Lot # 151. To view supplemental information and all items from the L.E. Bruun Collection, click here. Please note: Bid amounts do not include VAT.
