TOGO. Bronze Aluminum 2 Francs Essai (Pattern), 1925. Paris Mint. PCGS SPECIMEN-66 Gold Shield.
Lec-15 Var. (8 gms). Charmingly designed and stunningly preserved with no apparent handling over the surfaces. A RARE and intriguing issue, weighing 2 grams less than those traditionally encountered, lending to the possibility that these served as planchet test strikes for the 2 Francs issues designed by Morlon (of the same weight) that were issued beginning in 1931.
Estimate: $200.00- $400.00
