AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Austria – Ferdinand I (1835-1848) – Lot of 2 x 3 Kreuzer 1838 C, Prague – Uncirculated – 1.68 g each

Empire of Austria – Ferdinand I (1835-1848)
Lot of 2 coins of 3 Kreuzer – 1838 C – Prague Mint

Very nice lot consisting of two specimens of the 3 Kreuzer 1838 C, struck under the reign of Ferdinand I of Austria.

The two coins are particularly interesting because they show visible differences in the portrait and in certain engraving details, while belonging to the same date and the same mint.

Obverse:
Laureate portrait of Ferdinand I to the right.
Legend around the portrait.
Mint mark C under the bust, corresponding to Prague.

Reverse:
Imperial double-headed crowned eagle, bearing the value 3 at the center.
Date 1838.

Specifications
Country: Austria
Sovereign: Ferdinand I
Value: 3 Kreuzer
Year: 1838
Mint: Prague
Mint mark: C
Metal: billon / low-grade silver
Weight of the first specimen: 1.68 g
Weight of the second specimen: 1.68 g
Total weight: 3.36 g
Condition
Two uncirculated specimens, preserving very fine reliefs as well as a strong metallic lustre.

The portraits are particularly sharp, as are the imperial eagles, the legends and the various engraving details.

A few minor surface handling or conservation marks may be observed in the fields, but without notable circulation wear.

The difference in style between the two portraits is a particularly interesting element for collectors of Austrian coins or coin varieties.

The two photographed coins are exactly those offered in this lot.

The photographs are an integral part of the description.

Seller's Story

I am a private and passionate collector of numismatics, with a particular interest in ancient Greek coins, which form the heart of my personal collection. I regularly acquire coins at auction houses only, either to complete my collection, or to conduct research and identify pieces that interest me. Coins that do not fall within my collecting field are then put up for sale. This allows me to continue my research and dedicate the proceeds to enriching my collection of Greek coins. I pay particular attention to coin identification, their historical context, and the references in major numismatic catalogs.
