Franz Joseph I gold 100 Corona 1908 MS63 NGC, Kremnitz mint, KM2812, Fr-514. A wonderful example of this desirable gold issue, complete with sparkling, harvest-gold color and fields that express a significant amount of flash. The surfaces are free of any notable distractions--save for a few minor wisps and an isolated milk spot--while both the stately portrait of Franz Joseph and the pleasing "Lady in the Clouds" motif are illuminated by the surrounding radiance. A well-preserved, highly-collected type with endless appeal, choice in this select grade assignment.
