An absolutely flawless, gem uncirculated example with full mint lustre! Slabbed and graded by NGC at MS67.
NGC Cert # 6945691-001
A scarce non-circulating gold coin from Iceland minted for the sesquicentennial anniversary of the birth of Jón Sigurðsson, leader of the 19th century Icelandic independence movement.
The obverse features the Icelandic coat of arms surrounded by the four traditional protector spirits ("Landvættir") of Iceland. These are Griðungur the bull, Gammur the eagle, Dreki the dragon, and Bergrisi the giant.
Not a coin which is easy to get a hold of!
