Franz Joseph I Proof 2 Florin 1887 PR62 NGC, KM-XM7, Dav-33, Thun-467. Struck to commemorate the reopening of the Kuttenberg mines, which traces its roots back to the medieval period as a powerful commercial and political center of Bohemia, second only to Prague until the modern era. An exceedingly scarce issue with a total mintage of 400, with only a fraction being original Proofs. Covetable in any grade, let alone near-choice, and boasting a metallic backdrop that supports the heavily frosted and meticulously engraved raised features, decorated with scattered wisps that define the grade but do little to hinder the overall aesthetic appeal of this fleeting and highly collectible commemorative issue.
