The Austrian Occupation of Hungary (1849-1867)
Copper 3 Kreuzer (1851) KM-2193

Owner Comments:

This is the largest of the five one-year copper types of 1851 and is the most difficult to find an example of in mint state. Even my broker in Budapest for years said the best they've ever seen was an AU, but then this example popped up raw on eBay US of all places (doesn't it just surprise you sometimes). And here it is a lovely brown example with pleasing red tones and gorgeous surfaces. This is the only mint state example I've seen on the market, and I jumped at the chance to own one in this condition.
