French Indo-China
French Colony Piastre 1887-A MS66+ NGC, Paris mint, KM5. Truly awe-inspiring, this exceptional specimen pushes the likely uppermost limit of achievable quality for the type with its brilliant luster, expressive detail, and subtle but immensely impactful tone that interweaves peach and silver to enthralling visual effect, this amidst a delicate frost that clings to the struck devices. For those that desire this type, a similar chance will likely not be encountered again for a long time.
From the Allen Moretti Swiss Collection
