Franz Joseph I gold 1/2 Krone 1858-E AU55 NGC, Karlsburg mint (in Transylvania), KM2251, Fr-498, J-314. Mintage: 25,000. A scarcer issue, and one of only four examples certified across NGC and PCGS to date. Superficial friction and a single scratch in the obverse left field aside, the offering displays virtually Mint State quality, bathed in luminous golden radiance that glistens across the fields upon rotation, with Franz Joseph's features and the reverse details preserving nearly full sharpness and clarity.
