Monaco
Albert I gold 100 Francs 1901-A AU58 NGC, Paris mint, KM105. Perhaps the most beautiful design of modern Monacan coinage, this hefty issue displays a very high level of execution even in sight of its noticeable signs of wear and handling. Pairing the stately bust of Prince Albert I with an non-ornate, yet artistic Grimaldi royal shield, the design evokes the attractive simplicity of earlier French issues - a fact perhaps not surprising considering its mintage in Paris.
