Confederation Specimen 5 Francs 1916-B SP66 PCGS, Bern mint, KM34, HMZ 2-1198o. A spectacular example of this very low mintage issue, with only 22,000 examples struck. Both obverse and reverse are boldly struck, with bright white color and heavily frosted devices contrasting sharply with mirrored fields to give stunning cameo contrast. No significant flaws are noted and the overall appearance is superb. Specimen examples of this issue are exceedingly rare and this is the only piece certified as Specimen by PCGS. NGC has also certified a Specimen of this date, but only in Specimen 64. A fantastic opportunity to acquire the most amazing example extant of this rare issue.
