Russian Duchy gold Proof 20 Markkaa 1910-L PR65 Cameo NGC, Helsinki mint, KM9.2. Displaying delicate Proof characteristics and the light cameo contrast that one might expect of the lesser-refined Helsinki mint (versus St. Petersburg that was producing coins of exceptional quality at this time), this rather attractive selection glistens with lemon-gold coloration and features an impressive exactness across the design motifs. Other than a minor lintmark in the lower left obverse quadrant that should prove a useful pedigree marker, the surfaces remain rather smooth and are absent noticeable evidence of handling. Extremely rare as a proof emission (we've only seen proofs of copper and silver issues from this period), and presently the only gold Proof of this date certified by NGC. A selection that warrants great attention as such!
Estimate: 8000-12000 USD
