French Indo-China
French Colony copper-nickel Specimen Piefort Essai Piastre 1947-(a) SP64 PCGS, Paris mint, KM-PE8, Lec-318. Mintage: 104. Appealing for the grade, the nearly matte surfaces easily absorbing any light instances of handling and drawing the eye exclusively to the sharply executed elements of the design. An elusive and therefore highly contested type.
Ex. Heritage Auction #3021 (January 2013, Lot 20597)
From the Cape Coral Collection of French Ecus and 5 Francs
