Oscar II 2 Kronor 1877-EB MS66 NGC, Stockholm mint, KM742. A stellar representative of this short-lived type with a melange of subtle rainbow color that drapes the gunmetal surfaces in a stunning ombre effect. A closer look reveals impressive needle-sharp detailing throughout the design illustrations--the result of a deeply impressed strike--and strong luster cascades over the planchet, illuminating the fresh, mark-free fields. Fully Gem, and appropriately designated as such.
