Description

The First Crown of Modern Liechtenstein

Johann II silver Matte Proof Essai 5 Kronen 1898 PR63 NGC, Vienna mint, KM-E2, Divo-92. Mintage: 100. A profound issue, the bust of Johann II having been rendered in impressive scale on the flan, with staggeringly bold detail in his portrait, due in part to skillful engraving, but also because of the rich matte texture throughout that only amplifies his stern appearance. Elsewhere, the surfaces are mostly gray, as these tend to come, with some olive-hued darkening towards the outer edges. Nicer than the grade implies, we only note a minor tick or two that accounts for the grade. An ideal piece for the collector of usual, seldom-seen crowns.
