FRANCE. Banque de France. 100 Francs, 1886. P-63c.
Signatures of Bertin - Carre. A remarkable offering of this early 100 Francs design type that rarely surfaces in any condition. The present example shows the initial appeal of a higher grade wit ha bold impression that makes for sharp detail throughout. Deeply watermarked profiles at upper left and right and stunning allegorical vignettes throughout the face and back. Close inspection reveals pinholes at left and repairs at the upper left and right corners. Very Fine.
Estimate: $5000.00- $7000.00
