(◊) DENMARK. Krone, 1659. Copenhagen Mint. Frederik III. PCGS AU-50. Dav-3576; KM-221; Hede-100A; Sieg-53.1; Aagaard-76.1 (59-E7/59-E1); Schou-33. Mintmaster: Henrik Köhler. Engraver: Johann Blum. Elegant example of this popular type with a light grey toning. This iconic type was struck to commemorate the failure of the Swedish king, Carl X Gustav, to capture Copenhagen. The monogram of King Frederik III is shown above a stone with the text EBEN EZER, referring to the Old Testament (1 Samuel 7:12) in which Samuel erected a "stone of help" (Eben-ha-Ezer) between Mizpah and Jeshanah to honor the Lord for his help in securing the Israelites a victory over the Philistines.The Latin inscription on the reverse, SOLI DEO GLORIA, is another tribute to God ("To God alone be the glory"), while the dramatic design shows the hand of God (Manus Dei) severing the hand of the Swedish king with the sword of justice as he reaches out for the Danish crown. Estimate: €1,200 - €1,500. (◊) This lot has been consigned from the European Union and will be shipped or picked up from our Denmark office once the auction concludes.
