Denmark, Frederik V, 12 Mark, gold, VH mintmark Ducat Courant, 1761

Description

Apart from a nice head of hair, indication of extra fine quality, this coin has the rare VH mintmark instead of the much more common K or W. Some signs of circulation but very fine lettering too.
Another thing is to notice that it appears to be 61 over 60, even more rare. I am not an expert in overstrikes, so you must make up your mind. It seems to me clearly an signs of 0 under the 1.
Numista rates the VH mark as RARE.
