World Coin Wednesday.....Austria

[silverd510]

Afternoon everyone.....

I’m back ladies and gentlemen with another installment of my tag #worldcoinwednesday. You are in for a treat today with this coin. The coin is nearly 200 years old and style looks like it was minted today.

The coin is from Austria, it is an 1841A. The “A” means that the coin was struck in Vienna. It’s a 20 Krueger which does not seem like it has seen much use at all. It has been graded by NGC as a Mint State 62.

Austrian coins are really nice (the old ones)!
At night when I can't sleep, I look at Austrian coins!

Always quality stacking with the Top shelf coins. Impressive. 😎 Sunglasses on!
My !9th Century European silver are circulated raw coins with out the case.
That makes me a touchy, feely kind of person.

Thanks for the show @silverd510
