Greece
George I gold 100 Drachmai 1876-A XF Details (Repaired) PCGS, Paris mint, KM51, Fr-13. Mintage: 76. One of the greatest rarities of the modern Greek series, this selection displays canary-yellow surfaces that, despite an old cleaning, show only scattering of marks. Glimpses of original luster still reside in the protected areas and, upon rotation, gleam from the legends, while the main focus, George's prominent portrait, retains a strong level of detail. Little actual wear is present, as only a small amount of coins were produced, coupled with their extremely high face value, meant they barely circulated. Visually very appealing, particularly for its certified grade, making this specimen a centerpiece-worthy coin for the advanced collection of the modern Greek coinage.
From the Collection of A Philhellene
