Sisowath I gold Matte Specimen "Funeral" Medal 1928 SP63 PCGS, Lec-137, Gad-26 var. (listed only in silver). 34mm. 20.20gm. By P. Lenoir. The largest of the three sizes in which this popular funerary medal was produced, and presently the finest of just two certified examples between NGC and PCGS combined, endowed with enchanting sun-gold color and slightly darkened toning accents in the legends. Despite being noted as the plate piece in Lecompte's Monnaies et Jeton des Colonies Françaises on the holder, upon close examination, this does not seem to be the case.
