Description
This is one of the most beautiful coins we've seen in a long time. This Austrian five Shilling has superb natural toning. Rainbow toning is caused by the environment. The chemical reaction between the coin's surface & the air around it - with a little luck - can produce a shimmering rainbow effect similar to the effect seen on holographic surfaces. Special circumstances made this possible. The coin is a one-of-a-kind beautiful specimen. If you are a collector of town coins then you are probably aware of how rare this toning is. It's been our experience that maybe one out of every ten thousand has this type of toning naturally. It could be even rarer than that. The coin comes with a handsome snug acrylic holder so that the natural toning can continue to develop. We've owned coins for many years & have seen the toning continue to deepen & darken over time. in certain types of lighting, this rare coin looks almost like a watercolor with dazzling blues & purples. It is quite a treat for the naturally-toning coin collector. Authentic toning like this continues to develop over time, like a negative left in the photo developer. Moving the coin into a new environment will change the way it tones. in 10 years, this coin will be even more beautiful than it is now but no one can predict exactly how vibrant the rainbow toning will be! You can see the variations in the rainbow toning best in the video. 1965 Austrian 5 Shillings are silver, with a diameter of 23.5mm & a weight of 5.2grams. They have reeded edges & feature a Lipizzaner horse with a rider on the obverse. On the reverse, the Austrian escutcheon is framed in olive branches with the denomination above.
