Franz Joseph I gold Restrike "Vienna Shooting Festival" 4 Ducat 1873 (1973) MS67 Prooflike NGC, KM-XM12, Fr-500R. Kolarsky Restrike. A sought-after Restrike of a type that originally commemorated the Vienna Shooting Festival during the 25th Jubilee of Franz Joseph's reign. This is the single-finest Prooflike example for the type on the NGC census, and that superlative is clearly demonstrated during in-hand inspection. Watery expanses create an all-encompassing, near-Cameo contrast with the frosted motifs, which face up entirely well-executed. A perfect combination of 19th century aesthetics and modern manufacture.
