CZECHOSLOVAKIA. Gold Koruna Pattern Piefort, ND (1922). Kremnica Mint. NGC MS-62.
cf. KM-4 (for circulation strike); cf. Novotny-7 (Same). Weight: 17.37 gms. Variety with reeded edge. An apparently RARE and elusive pattern issue in gold, this piefort bears the same design as the circulation strike but is offered in gold and double weight and thickness. This type is quite elusive, as this cataloger was unable to find corollary examples for this specimen. Displaying evidence of marking and handling, the surfaces still are rather brilliant and display some rainbow color to them in a somewhat unusual display. A piece that is certain to be much contended for, given the chances of acquiring another example appear to be quite slim. To view all items from the Augustana Collection, click here.
