Republic gold Proof 20 Francs 1878-A PR67 NGC, Paris mint, KM825, Fr-591, Gad-1063. An exceptional offering considering the meager Proof mintage of only 30 examples for this date. Given this low number, it comes as no surprise that the present selection ranks as the absolute finest seen by NGC, its lofty grade serving as a testament to an extraordinary care taken in its preservation in over 140 years of existence. Uniformly sharply crafted devices are balanced by tranquil fields, these entirely absent a single distraction worthy of mention. Possibly the finest of this Proof issue in existence, and an important piece of French numismatic history thus.
From the Caranett Collection
