MADAGASCAR. Silver 5 Francs Pattern, 1895. Ranavalona Manjaka III. NGC PROOF-62.
KMX-M3; Dav-517; Lec-37. Mintage: 25. By Reginald Huth (London). A RARE and exceptionally elegant issue which displays the veiled bust of the queen on the obverse and a crowned rose on the reverse. Far more attractive than the assigned grade often implies, this beauty possesses moderate golden-gray tone in the centers, with undeniably eye-catching orange and green color that accompanies the outer edges. Visible signs of handling are kept to an absolute minimum, which again compliments the overall appearance. Considering the paltry mintage, an extremely important issue for the collector of world (or strictly African) crowns!
Estimate: $7000.00- $10000.00
