Franz Joseph I gold "Coronation" 100 Korona 1907-KB MS65 S NGC, Kremnitz mint, KM490, Fr-256, Husz-2213. Mintage: 10,897. Struck upon the 40th anniversary of Franz Joseph's coronation in Hungary. An iconic type in the larger Hungarian series, notable for it Prooflike peripheries framing a matte-like frosted portrait of the new King and his coronation vignette adorning the reverse. With a majority of examples witnessed in lesser tiers of certification, there becomes a steep drop-off at the Gem level, with no examples receiving NGC's coveted "star" designation. With only the presence of the trivial errant mark most notable in the central frosting capping the assigned grade, we wait with anticipation for the current offering to cross the auction block.
