Franz Joseph I gold Proof "Lady in the Clouds" 100 Corona 1908 PR61 NGC, Kremnitz mint, KM2812, Fr-514. Struck to commemorate the 60th anniversary of Franz Joseph I's impressively long reign. An eponymous type notable for its iconic "Lady in the Clouds" design, almost exclusively witnessed borderline uncirculated, yet notably here assigned a more difficult PR61 designation. While scattered hairlines that always accompany this expansive gold issue preclude this piece from finer preservations, notable flash and an especially fine reverse elevate the overall eye appeal.
