Geneva. Canton 5 Francs 1848 MS64 NGC, KM137, HMZ-2364a. Mintage: 1,176. Showcasing desirable graphite patina with an underlayer of teal and champagne hues that glisten through the breaks in tone. Moments of reflectivity also surprise on this broad issue, as do the beautifully styled designs. Near-Gem and rarely offered so fine, likely to draw much attention from the collectors of cantonal crowns.
