Republic gold Essai 100 Francs 1929 MS63 NGC, Paris mint, Maz-2539. With a reported mintage of just 15 pieces, and auction appearances to suggest a similar degree of rarity, this is an always hotly contested type whenever it comes up for sale. On this example, the lustrous surfaces and lightly frosted devices present a near-cameo affect, giving this coin a prooflike appearance. Overall very attractive, and worthy of a premium bid considering its seemingly conservative grade of MS63.
