Said Ali silver-plated bronze Specimen Essai 5 Francs AH 1308 (1890) SP66 PCGS, Lec-7. Essentially unique, this silvered test-strike features beautifully-illustrative designs and outstanding, argent-white surfaces that are toned with a touch of autumnal color at the peripheries, creating a warm halo around the elements. The obverse displays multiple weapons gathered in the center: a dagger, a bow, a gun, a pistol, a sword, a spear, and an arrow. The reverse depicts crossed French and Comorian flags with two stars flanking and a crescent above. Very engaging in this nearly-flawless Specimen quality, and rare as such.
Estimate: 8000-10000 USD
