Franz Joseph I gold 100 Korona 1907-KB MS64 Prooflike NGC, Kremnitz mint, KM491, Fr-249, Husz-2197. From a tiny mintage of only 1,088 pieces. Struck to commemorate the anniversary of Franz Joseph I's coronation. A needle-sharp representative brimming with reflectivity throughout champagne-tinged fields. A light silver patina graces the surfaces of this near-jewel selection, with only isolated wisps and a small patch of friction to the right of the Emperor precluding a full gem designation. We note that this is one of only two examples certified Prooflike by NGC for this date, and further, the offering comes within only a single point of tying for the technically finest certified with even regular "MS" examples, of which there are currently only 21. Given its full strike and lofty conditional status, this may well be a singular opportunity to acquire so elite a specimen.
