Franz Joseph I gold Proof 100 Corona 1908 PR60 NGC, Kremnitz mint, KM2812, Fr-514. Full of flash and ready to delight, this commemorative reign issue easily satiates the eye with its lemon-hued surfaces that produce a glossy glow, and a simple, yet classic portrait of the Emperor. The reverse is clearly the showstopper, with its delicately modeled "Lady in the Clouds" motif showing excellent definition for the assigned grade. Typical wisps line the open mirrors, however, their affect on the overall appearance of this coin remains limited. For the collector looking for a more affordable example of this ever-popular type, this marks the perfect opportunity.
Estimate: 7000-9000 USD
