Ferdinand I gold "Coronation" 25 Lei 1922 MS62 NGC, London mint, KM-XM2, Fr-12, Stamb-83. Produced to commemorate the coronation of Ferdinand I, and featuring the crowned busts of the new King and Queen Marie. A type struck on quite shallow dies, and with a tendency to bear significant evidence of handling over the surfaces. The present example, while displaying some of the hairlines and light scratches typical for the issue, does so with an appreciable evenness, with no particular marks standing out readily to the eye, while the sun-yellow fields are awash with gentle satiny luster.
