Lot Description

A lovely Choice AU example of this desirable territorial issue displaying wisps of reddish-rose and powder blue toning on dominant honey-orange and olive colors. The motifs are boldly pronounced on both sides. The surfaces are quite smooth and free from abrasions, exhibiting a generally smooth complexion during in-hand viewing. The reverse is rotated nearly 45 degrees counterclockwise from medallic alignment. The Kagin-24 dollar with plain edge is the most frequently encountered Bechtler gold coin in numismatic circles, making it an obvious choice for the collector seeking just a single representative from this important private minting establishment.
