Carol II gold 100 Lei 1940 MS60 NGC, Bucharest mint, KM-XM12, Fr-19, Stamb-111. Uncircled bust variety. An impressive production to commemorate the 10th year of Reign for Carol II and an artistic homage to the monarchy. As the simplistic obverse does well to focus attention on the bust the reverse elegantly displays the wreathed, crowned royal cipher and rays. A well struck portrayal with some light wisps of handling in the fields and a very nice reflectivity flashing on the reverse. A rare piece from a turbulent era and most desirable thus.
