NORWAY. Carl XIV Johan. 24 Skilling 1831 Kv 1+ (XF)
UNIQUE IN PRIVATE HANDS. This is of the highest rarity. A modern numismatic sensation. Last sale of this date was in 1977, and that ended up in DNB's coin collection. We have compared the images of 1831 from Norges Banks collection, and this is FAR better. Interesting re-engraved date, altered 0 to 1. This is a chance not to miss. As far as our research shows, this is the ONLY obtainable coin, and probably the last piece for many collectors to complete the Carl XIV Johan collection. The condition on our presented piece is lovely. A slight wear, but some luster still present in the protected areas. The planchet is as usually a bit crude. The 1831 24 skilling has almost been legendary, as this is the only unique coin from the era. Even the Half specie 1835 Star is known in two specimens privatly owned.
