Confederation gold 100 Francs 1925-B MS65 NGC, Bern mint, KM39, Fr-502, HMZ-21193a. Obv. Draped bust of Helvetia left, wearing hair in braid and with garland of edelweiss over shoulders; Alps in the background. Rev. Denomination and date below rayed Swiss cross; branch below. A second example of this majestic Art Nouveau motif, which has long-captivated collectors for its beauty and charm. This piece offers exceptional luster and abounding brilliance, while a few lightly scattered, inconsequential marks prevent an even higher grade than its current gem status. Of its low mintage of just 5,000 specimens, this coin is a part of the small subset of pieces which are among the nicest known.
Estimate: 18000-22000 USD
