SWEDEN. 2 Kronor, 1912. Stockholm Mint. Gustav V. NGC PROOF-66 Cameo.
KM-787; SM-5(5); Delzanno-4; Bruun-13789. Weight: 14.98 gms. Mintmaster: Karl-August Wallroth (W). Engraver: Adolf Lindberg. The RAREST date of the series, which was struck from 1910 to 1940, is taken to a whole different level when encountered in Proof format. The details and rims have the sharpness of a fresh razor, with a handsome frost topping the details and legends providing good contrast to the reflectivity in the fields. Nearly the entirety of the surfaces are dappled with toning, which shows up perhaps more forcefully in the open areas. Among the most beautiful coins to ever originate from Sweden, and a once in a lifetime opportunity to acquire such a beautiful proof.
From the L. E. Bruun Collection.
