Louis Philippe I Proof 5 Francs 1831-A PR66 PCGS, Paris mint, KM745.1, Dav-90, Gad-677a. Raised edge lettering. An offering that represents a rarely seen intersection of rarity and sublime visual quality, the present issue ranking as the sole example certified by PCGS in this Proof format and showcasing an enviable display of colorful toning. What appears at first as a pleasingly dispersed cabinet patina head-on immediately bursts into a rich display of lilac and and cerulean upon rotation, these hues expressed with a pleasing grace and washing over surfaces devoid of all but the most trivial signs of handling. A likely unique opportunity for our bidders, and a specimen worthy of extended in-hand appreciation and enjoyment.
Ex. New York Sale XXVIII (January 2012, Lot 1129)
