KM-296; Pere-989. Though bearing the mint signature of "Misr" (Cairo), this issue, in fact, was struck in Berlin, with the small W below the wreath indicating Emil Weigand, the designer at the mint. This Choice crown features delicate details across its broad, lustrous fields. A soft gray tone spans the surfaces, imparting an elegant look. It's no surprise that this piece is the finest certified by PCGS.
