Franz Joseph I gold Proof 100 Corona 1908 PR63 Cameo NGC, Kremnitz mint, KM2812, Fr-514. This magnificent Proof features the high-relief portrait of Franz Joseph I atop deeply-mirrored fields that are free of the commonly seen surface abrasions found on this large gold type. In fact, the only perceived imperfection comes in two, faded spots near the Emperor's neck that disappear upon rotation, but are most likely what keep this piece from an even finer designation. The reverse, however, absolutely dazzles with the illustrious "Lady in the Clouds" motif--lightly frosted and fully-bold--surrounded by glossy, golden fields. A glorious example struck to commemorate the 60th Anniversary of Reign, equal in both technical quality and eye appeal.
Estimate: 12500-17500 USD
