Prussia. Friedrich Wilhelm IV gold 2 Frederick d'Or 1848-A MS61 NGC, Berlin mint, KM443. A choice example of this trade coinage featuring the young bust of Friedrich Wilhelm IV and a crowned eagle perched atop a cannon. Beautiful in all regards, with eye-catching obverse cartwheel luster and elements that are bold for the grade. A number of inconsequential ticks are dispersed throughout the fields, but none of them interfere with the overall allure of this specimen. Rarely encountered, and as such, well-deserving of great attention.
