Owner's Description

Iceland 10 Kronur - 1930 MS-62 KM – M3 Census - 26 graded by NGC - six with this grade - six higher This coin commemorates the 1000 Years of the Icelandic Althing Iceland was settled by Norway in the 9th century and established as an independent republic in 930. The Icelandic assembly called the Althing was also established in 930 making it the oldest parliament in the world. Iceland came under Norwegian Sovereignty in 1262 and passed to Denmark when Norway and Denmark were united under the Danish crown in 1390. In 1918 it was established as a virtually independent kingdom in union with Denmark. In 1944 while Denmark was under German occupation Iceland was established as an independent republic by plebiscite. When I started collecting coins, this coin was reported to be one of the most beautiful coins of the 20th century. For that reason alone this coin became part of my collection. When I purchased this coin it was listed in KM it has since been removed and is only found in KM's Unusual World Coins. I was once total it is not now considered a coin because the value is on the edge and not the Obverse or Reverse. My cost was $150
