Confederation Specimen 5 Francs 1850-A SP64+ PCGS, Paris mint, KM11. An absolute gem of a coin, with an exceptional frosted brilliance throughout. A light russet gold tone accentuates the peripheries, and captures the viewers eye's no matter the angle at which the coin is held. A minute flan flaw to the right of the artist's name on the obverse and a tiny mark above the 0 in the date on the reverse are essentially the only things preventing this beautiful piece from achieving a much higher grade. A stunning crown-sized addition to any collection, and very rare as a specimen striking.
