Prussia. Friedrich Wilhelm IV gold 2 Frederick d'or 1848-A MS63 NGC, Berlin mint, KM443. An outstanding example of trade coinage featuring the young bust of Friedrich Wilhelm IV and a crowned eagle perched atop a cannon. Bold from all angles, with vibrant surfaces that express an ample amount of original bloom and design elements that are fully-rendered--especially the intricately-detailed reverse motif. Unobtrusive handling marks are noted in the grade; however, the overall allure of this piece remains eye catching. A model representative of this scarce issue, absolutely pleasing in this Choice technical quality.
