Montfort. Ernst Max Josef gold 1/2 Carolin 1735 XF45 NGC, KM153, Fr-557. A scarce gold issue from the region of Montfort with the bust of Ernst Max Josef and mitred, helmeted, and mantled arms. Expressing porous surfaces due to rusty dies, this selection also exhibits a shallow obverse strike and a minor reverse flan flaw. Nonetheless, even in this moderately-circulated quality, the current offering is still highly-coveted. Krause catalog price(s) for this item: $2000 in VF, $3900 in EF, $7500 in UNC.
Estimate: 3500-4000 USD
