Republic gold Proof 100 Francs 1889-A PR62 Cameo NGC, Paris mint, KM832, Fr-590, Gad-1137. Mintage: 100. A rare date from the series and listed as a Proof-only striking, with all 100 pieces made at and for the public at the Paris Exposition of the same year. This current offering presents rose-tinged surfaces that are lightly reflective and contain minor handling effects that align with the grade. Perhaps of more importance, however, is the strike, which was expertly applied on both sides, leaving full definition throughout even the most intricate details. A rarity amongst French gold coins, and fully deserving of premium placement in its next cabinet.
