Wurttemberg. Karl I Proof 2 Taler 1869 PR64 Cameo NGC, KM618. A two-year type featuring the head of Karl I, struck to commemorate the restoration of Ulm Cathedral. Altogether glossy surfaces express deep reflectivity beneath a canvass of champagne tone, and expertly-struck design elements are frosty in nature due to desirable cameo contrast. With the aid of magnification, the fields appear free of any notable blemishes, save for the occasional milk spot that most-likely precludes a Gem designation. Unlisted in the SCWC in Proof quality, this specimen offers both a solid technical grade, as well as undeniable visual allure.
