Moneyer: Braem. Excessively rare in private ownership with only one example recorded in public collections, which according to Professor C. J. Becker's studies is kept at the Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg. The obverse die was also used in a combination with another Jewel Cross reverse bearing the name of the moneyer Oththencar and the name of the Mint of Lund (C.J. Becker-H 27). A highly enigmatic type of immense numismatic importance as it illustrates that especially obverse dies sometimes travelled to another Mint to be used there. Estimate: €2,000 - €3,000.
