    Thanks. The “Gothic” crowns and florins are supremely popular for their beauty. The crowns (which I think were proof only?) are nosebleed-expensive. Best I could afford at the time was a florin, and a lightly circulated one at that. It’s got a few tiny tickmarks but I think the toning on this one really sets it off.
