Frederik VII, 50 cents ND (1850), H 24, S 2, KM 27. Crowned monogram of Frederik VII countermarked on US Half Dollar 1848 (Seated Liberty type), KM 68, ex. Louis Kühl, lot 837 (TH auction, 2010), small nick on edge - a pleasing and nicely toned coin of the utmost rarity (only 4–5 known according to KM)
Whereas a number of forged countermarks are known to exist, the present example, which remained in the Kühl collection for more than a century, was singled out to illustrate a genuine countermark in Jørgen Sømod's book, “Hvid, Skilling, Øre”, Copenhagen, 2011 (page 365)
