Danish Colony. Christian IX gold 10 Daler (50 Francs) 1904-(h) MS62 NGC, Copenhagen mint, KM73, Fr-2, Sieg-32. Representing the largest gold denomination issued during Danish rule of the islands of Saint Thomas, Saint John, Saint Croix, and Water Island. The Danish government sold the majority of its Caribbean holdings to the United States in 1917 in exchange for the removal of American objections to the Danish takeover of Greenland. This single-year issue with a reported mintage of 2,005 pieces only comes across our desk every few years, so this well-struck example should elicit bidder enthusiasm.
