描述:: Carl X Gustaf Riksdaler 1654, Stockholm mint, KM214, SM-14a (without stars on the reverse), MS63 NGC.

描述:: Carl (IX) Regency Period Daler 1599, Stockholm mint, SM-7, Davenport-8713, MS63 NGC. Struck during the turbulent political times in Sweden when Carl was representing the Vasa ruling family in Stockholm while his brother, Sigismund, was King in Poland. Discord between the Protestants and Catholics weakened the State and eventually broke out as the Thirty Years War. In 1600 Sigismund was forced to abdicate the throne in Sweden and Carl IX became King. This example of the rare Daler struck during the Regency is sharply detailed and most attractive with light silver and gray patina. The obverse features the coat of arms of Sweden while the reverse shows Jehovah in Hebrew surrounded by rays of light. Realized $35,250.00. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.

描述:: Johan III Daler 1575, Stockholm mint, SM-25, Dav-8705, XF45 NGC. A splendid example of this early Daler with exceptionally sharp design features and rich cabinet patina. The surfaces display a reflective sheen which only increases the extraordinary eye appeal. A classic 16th century crown. Johan III was the second son of Gustaf Vasa and was Duke of Finland from 1556-1563 when he was imprisoned for opposing his brother, Eric XIV. After the demise of Erik, Johan III became King in 1568 and ruled until his death in 1592. Realized $5,287.50. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.

描述:: Eric XIV Daler 1562, Stockholm mint, SM-6, Dav-8701, XF45 NGC. A most impressive example of this rare daler with fine gray patina and well-struck details.

Realized $8,812.50. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.
