<p>[QUOTE="brg5658, post: 1561687, member: 29751"]This is a three year type coin from Austria (1925, 1926, and 1932). The mintages for 1925 and 1926 were very large (40 million and 18 million, respectively). The 1932 issue was only minted in a quantity of 700,000. Strangely, this coin is quite difficult to find in true gem condition. I ran across this example about a week ago, and was able to snag it for quite a bit more than what Krause says its value is, but I haven't seen one of these come up in true UNC condition for over 18 months. The obverse is a very nice rendition of the parliament house in Vienna, and on the left side features one of the four "horse tamers" statues. While the reverse is a bit cliche (branches, shield), I find it attractive also. The luster is really splendid in hand, and the detail is very nice. I'm attaching a close-up of the horse statue also <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]211203.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]211204.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]211205.vB[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]211202.vB[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
