CHILE. Copper 5 Francs Essai (Pattern), 1851. Paris Mint. NGC MS-64 Brown.
Maz-1382a; VG-3284; KM-Pn9. Featuring an absolutely wondrous design by Barre, this alluring pattern displays the French Liberté wearing a crown composed of cherubic children clasping hands. Though classified as brown, this choice piece exhibits some peripheral redness to further highlight its brilliantly lustrous surfaces. Immensely attractive.
Estimate: $1200.00- $1500.00
