Reunion
French Colony copper-nickel Specimen Essai Franc 1896 SP65 PCGS, KM-E2, Lec-44. Displaying noteworthy reflectivity across the fields, coupled with a gentle frost residing over the devices to yield a cameo contrast, most prominent to the obverse. Fine die polish lines are noted across the open expanses of both sides, over which no larger distractions are to be found. Scarce as a type, in general, and certainly even more so at this gem level of preservation.
