Not an MS coin;
there is a slight amount of wear on the high points, both sides.
Wear on high points has been patinated over.
EF 55 or 58.
Nice example anyway

The obverse die must have been tired. The reverse is much better. It circulated but I believe it was not handled much.
Beware someone selling you this kind of coin as rare. Rare is one that appears for sale only a few times each year. 60000 minted from this era does not make for a rare coin. Unless most of the issue was lost at the time there should have been many new coins kept by collectors. Coin collecting was already popular.

Yes very tired I Wonder If they reused the 1878 obv die.
Yes not exceedingly rare but semiscarce like the the 5 lire 1872R. The 1878 kronor OCH is more rare in the series

So it arrived and I'm pleased with it inhand and its always something special with type coins and Lea Ahlborn. Then to distinguish between a au55 or 58 or ms60 is always lost to me. Nice luster and contrast in fields.    Edited by Moniker

thank you. The fascinating thing is that this is the last 2 krona for 10 years. Next one is the 1890-1904 series that features a new portrait. I wonder why there is such a large gap. probably a reason for this. the Oscar II 2 krona series features 6 different portraits (2 commems) not including different beards/hair variations etc. Must be some kind of record the mint must have been buzy creating new designs.

The Netherlands stopped minting large silver crowns in the late 19th century when they introduced the gold standard in 1875.
Minting of the Rijksdaalder (2.5 gulden) restarted in 1929, with the exception of the coronation of Wilhelmina in 1898 for which a special Rijksdaalder was struck.

AU-58 seems like a correct grade for this coin. Nice one, congrats!
