Lot 1050
Lot 31050 > Franz Joseph gold "Rounded Shield" 20 Corona 1916 MS60 NGC, Vienna mint, KM2818, Fr-510, J-387. Rounded shield variety. Extremely rare, representing the final date of the series and the last to bear the "rounded shield" design over the reverse eagle, with a switch in production to the "Australian shield" type occurring later in the same year. Though 71,763 were originally produced, it is clear that few of these survive in better states of preservation, with Mint State examples considered to be of particular scarcity; accordingly, the present example, fully uncirculated and graced with shimmering cartwheel luster, represents an item of clear numismatic importance, and it is certainly destined to rank as a clear "star" in whatever collection it will ultimately become part of.
