French Indo-China
French Colony silver Specimen Pattern Cent 1941 SP64 PCGS, cf. KM24.3, Lec-106b. 27.5mm. "Tribute" issue by R. Mercier. An extremely rare pattern issue, with Lecompte stating a known quantity of only two examples, its highest degree of rarity making this issue one of the most elusive in the entire French colonial series. The piece displays glistening surfaces gently decorated in silver tone, with pleasing touches of iridescence throughout. Likely a unique opportunity in this format and wholly admirable in the demonstrated near-gem condition.
