Confederation gold 100 Francs 1925-B MS64 NGC, Bern mint, KM39, HMZ-21193a. Mintage: 5,000. Undoubtedly one of the most beautiful examples of 20th century gold coins, this low-mintage, singular issue remains highly popular among collectors. The expansive planchet is toned with touches of rose in the recesses, and that upon rotation, serve to highlight the even-colored, honey surfaces, while the central designs have benefitted from a deeply impressed strike that leaves the edges of nearly all the details noticeably raised. A stray mark or two likely preclude the Gem designation, but as a whole, this selection succeeds in satisfying the studious eye.
