France
Republic gold Proof 5 Francs 1889-A PR64 Ultra Cameo NGC, Paris mint, KM829, Fr-595. Mintage: 40. An issue that does not appear often in the marketplace--especially in such a superb level of presentation--composed of radiant surfaces that are accented by hues of rose iridescence throughout. Having benefitted from a precise strike, the designs retain exceptional highpoint sharpness, and the laureate heard of Ceres does not disappoint in its delivery of intricate detail. Scarce, in all regards, and an altogether spectacular offering that will easily elevate the status of its next collection.
Estimate: 9000-12000 USD
