Hungary
Franz Joseph I gold "Millennial Anniversary of the Kingdom of Hungary" Goldgulden 1896 MS65 NGC, Kremnitz mint, KM-X9, Fr-258. A rare souvenir-type piece produced as part of a series of coins emulating the medieval issues of Hungary, with just 100 pieces struck, this shimmering jewel currently ranks as the finest certified example in the NGC census. Struck in the design of late medieval Goldgulden the current specimen displays fully unblemished surfaces saturated with soft golden color. Stylistically, this is an admirable rendition of a medieval coin, with only the date of 1896 and the titles of Franz Joseph to give away its 19th-century manufacture.
