Prince George 5 Drachmai 1901-(A) AU55 NGC, KM9. A very scarce one-year type--especially in this designation and finer--featuring the portrait of Prince George and crowned, draped coat of arms. The pleasantly-toned olive-gray surfaces are accented by a tremendous amount of underlying color in varying shades of turquoise and champagne iridescence. Among only a handful of like-certified pieces in this mildly-circulated quality, and only six other examples graded finer by NGC.
Estimate: 2000-3000 USD
