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.

描述:: Gustav Vasa Daler 1544, Svartsjo mint, SM-157b, dated as "44", Davenport-8698, XF Details (Graffiti) NGC. Variety with obverse legend as SVE and without CI. The obverse of this extremely popular type features a half bust of the King with sword and orb, and the reverse depicts an image of Christ with graphic wounds from the crucifixion. A pleasing coin with original toning, the initials Z W have been scratched on either side of the Christ figure, possibly early collector's marks. Gustav was born as Gustav Eriksson of the powerful Vasa family. He became King in 1523 after defeating Christian II of Denmark and is recognized as the Father of modern Sweden. Realized $3,290.00.

描述:: Gustav Vasa Mark 1559, Stockholm mint, SM-120, MS62 NGC. Razor sharp details with subtle silvery-gray toning; very rare grade for this sixteenth century issue. The obverse displays a crowned portrait of Gustav facing right with a long pointed beard. The emergence of the Vasa family eventually led to a powerful State which controlled large portions of northern Europe and the Baltic regions in the 1600s. Realized $3,055.00.

描述:: Olof Sk?tkonung (994-1021/22) silver Penny ND, Lagerqvist-12a, Sigtuna mint, Snelling as moneyer, MS65 NGC. + OLVF REX ZbEVOX, draped bust of Olof right, a scepter held before him / + SNELLINC MO ZIN, short voided cross with C R V X within quarters. An absolutely stunning example of this early Viking era coinage with razor sharp details and superb cabinet patina. A jaw-dropping specimen which is certainly among the finest known and we doubt that another piece can match this coin for dazzling eye appeal. Olof Sk?tkonung (the treasurer) was the first Christian king of Sweden and was baptised in 1008 at Husaby. He died 13 years later, apparently as a result of refusing to sacrifice to the pagan gods. He was later canonized as Saint Olof. Realized $7,050.00. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.
