ROMANIA. Pattern 100 Lei, 1939. NGC MS-63.
Stamb-172-1.2. Gilt bronze. Quite scarce regardless of variety, with a solid gold example realizing more than $120,000 at auction within the last few years. While not quite as rare, the gilt version is never the less highly sought after and almost never encountered in this pristine condition. The gold gilt is free of injury with absolutely none of the bronze substrate showing through. The faintest trace of tone below the sideburn is the only evidence of handling. Worthy of inclusion in the most advanced collection of Romanian Imperial coinage, and sure to draw considerable interest as it crosses the auction block. NGC MS-63.
Estimate: $3500.00- $4500.00
