French Indo-China
French Colony copper-nickel Piefort Essai 50 Cents 1946 MS65 NGC, KMPE7. A superb and hefty Gem, elegantly executed surfaces alight with a flashy white luster, the engraving quality and level of presentation equally impressive. From a scant mintage of only 104 pieces, and surely one of the most attractive pieces extant. Comparable to a similarly certified example handled by us in our May 2012 sale 231218, where it realized $3,450.
