Republic gold 100 Francs 1894-A MS63 Prooflike NGC, Paris mint, KM832, Fr-590, Gad-1137. Mintage: 143. A wondrous representative from this popular series, often collected for its beautifully conceived obverse design that shows the standing Genius signing the constitution. Our current offering absolutely captivates--first with the central image that shows sculpted highpoint detail, followed by rose-gold color that heavily permeates the surfaces, and finally by reflective fields that shimmer undisturbed throughout. While a number of grade-aligning ticks are noted, as a whole, this massive selection has escaped even the most basic of handling marks that so often plague this issue. As such, the eye-appealing nature of this low-mintage date remains outstanding, and in this Prooflike certification, befitting of even the most refined cabinets that house 19th century gold rarities.
Estimate: 20000-30000 USD
