Republic gold Proof 100 Francs 1936 PR65 Cameo NGC, Paris mint, KM880, Fr-598, Gad-1148. Highly emblematic of the artistic style of Third Republic coinage, this deeply mirrored example displays bright, watery golden fields that act to capture incoming light and sharply chisel the devices. While some extremely light signs of handling are present in the expanses, visible only under proper magnification, they largely slip into obscurity as the coin is rotated in hand. With only one example currently ranking higher at NGC (offered in this sale), this pleasing Gem is sure to find the coveted attention it deserves.
