Hungary
Horthy Miklos Regency gold Proof Restrike 100 Pengo 1938 PR68 NGC, KM-XPn41, Fr-596. Milled edge. An outstanding Pattern struck from earlier regency coinage, sometimes referred to as a fantasy issue, that was minted specifically for a US numismatic firm in Ohio. Commemorating the 900th anniversary of the death of St. Stephen--the first King of Hungary--this nearly flawless selection features satin-textured design elements that have been meticulously defined and sit in total contrast to the glossy mirrors that shimmer with unending reflectivity. For a coin of this size and format to have been so carefully preserved is really a feat unto itself. Presently the recipient of the single-finest certified designation by either major grading party, and likely to stay that way for some time.
Estimate: 4000-5000 USD
