Franz Joseph I gold 100 Corona 1908 MS63 NGC, Kremnitz mint, KM2812, Fr-514. Franz Joseph's portrait is expertly sculpted, but even more impressive is the allegorical reverse depiction; it, a true artistic masterpiece, is quite possibly the most beautiful European coin design of the 20th century. Full prooflike reflectivity in the fields only serves to further embolden the beauty, with limited handling setting the present piece apart from most of the other survivors. A great coin that is certain to sit in high esteem as a foundational piece in the next collection it enters.
Estimate: 8000-12000 USD
