Republic Proof "Ceres" 5 Francs 1849-A PR65 NGC, Paris mint, KM761.1. A superior example from this fleeting series, premiering thick gloss that overlays the surfaces and impeccable dove-gray color that darkens as it reaches the edges. Underlying iridescence forms a stunning backdrop to the illustrative designs, as shades of peach and teal flash throughout the recesses, gathering at the base of the raised elements. Unlisted as a Proof in SCWC, and likely scarce as such. For the connoisseur building a collection of 19th century Gem Proof crowns, this visually unstoppable offering absolutely fits the bill.
