France
Republic gold Proof 5 Francs 1889-A PR63 NGC, Paris mint, KM829, Fr-595. Mintage: 40. A very scarce French gold Proof type, its surfaces enchantingly glossy with only the most trivial of contact marks defining its certified grade. The obverse portrait of Ceres is lightly frosted and barely exhibits any evidence of handling whatsoever, giving an immediately captivating aesthetic effect. According to Mazard, the small C under the value on the reverse stands for "centenaire"--in other words, this piece was struck in honor of the centenary of the French revolution.
