Oscar II gold Proof 20 Kronor 1898-EB PR67 Cameo NGC, Stockholm mint, KM748 (unlisted in Proof), Fr-93a, SGM-23. A simply astonishing grade for the type, both from a purely technical standpoint as well in terms of its distinction as a Proof, very nearly approaching technical perfection without the least trace of bagmarks across its surfaces. Despite being one of the most prolific mintage dates for the type, out of nearly 350 currently seen in the NGC census, only four business strikes have reached the MS67 level, only one example received the Prooflike designation and none besides the present piece having been certified as indisputably Proof. Of great rarity as such, and sure to be a centerpiece for the specialist in Swedish rarities.
