Franz Joseph I Proof 5 Corona 1900 PR64 PCGS, KM2807 (unlisted in proof). Completely unparalleled in terms of overall aesthetic appeal and absolute quality, this extremely rare proof issue leaves utterly little wanting, with watery mirrors soaked in radiant flashes of magenta, cobalt, and gold. The reverse devices remain razor-sharp, virtually sculpturesque, the fields a subtle slate grey until set alight with iridescence as it is rotated in hand. With the image of five crowns on the reverse cleverly playing off of the name of the denomination, this coin comes with all the bells and whistles, though scant traces of minimal handling should be noted only for the sake of completeness.
