The borderline is about 3.2 million yen. The gold market is rising. Antique gold coins are also increasing significantly. Now is the time to get your hands on this precious coin. 1908 Austria 100 Corona 60th Anniversary of Reign AU58 NGC. Weight: approximately 33.8753g, 90% gold coin. Issued solely in 1908, with 16,000 pieces existing but the exact number is unclear, this is a renowned piece from Europe, specifically Austria, commonly known as the "Cloud Goddess." This single-year issue gold coin commemorates Emperor Franz Joseph I’s 60th anniversary on the throne. The "Cloud Goddess" motif depicts Elisabeth, the empress of Franz Joseph, delivering her congratulations to the emperor from above the clouds. This coin is becoming increasingly rare at auctions, making it a valuable piece. This NGC graded coin has a total of 163 reported, with only 23 remaining. It features a deeply engraved design and a proof-like luster. Since April 2015, the price has increased by 40%. On September 10, 1889, while on a journey, Elisabeth was suddenly attacked by an assailant who fatally stabbed her in Geneva, Switzerland, while she was on her way to board a pleasure boat. Despite medical attention, she succumbed to her wounds in the hotel bed she was staying at, ending her life at the age of 60. The assailant was a 25-year-old Italian anarchist named Luigi Lucheni. For Elisabeth, who had grown weary of living, even a death brought by an assassin may have been a much-needed rest. Through her dramatic assassination, she became even more of a mystical and legendary figure. Franz Joseph Emperor repeatedly said until his death on November 21, 1916, "No one can understand how much I loved Sisi..."
