SWEDEN. 2 Kronor, 1878. Stockholm Mint. Oscar II. NGC PROOF-66 Cameo.
KM-749; SM-47(47); Delzanno-13. Bruun-13675. Weight: 15.03 gms. Mintmaster: Emil Brusewitz (EB). Engraver: Lea Ahlborn (LA). This "OCH" variant is by far the RAREST in the series and demanded in any grade, much less an almost breathtakingly unbelievable Proof-66 Cameo level. There can be no doubt about the proof nature of the strike, with razor sharp details and rims that are squared off at an impressive height. Entrancing and kaleidoscopic color coats the surfaces, with a rich variegation of sapphire, emerald, ruby, and peridot revealing themselves at different points across the surfaces. The cameo contrast is demonstrated in the form of light frost on the devices that provide a contrast against the watery fields. In a collection full of wonders, this lot can boast an appeal that distinguishes it from nearly all others.
