Switzerland
Confederation 5 Francs 1874-B MS66 NGC, Bern mint, KM11, HMZ-2-1197. No dot after "B". An inspiring type representative exhibiting a colorful bloom of patination over luxuriously satiny surfaces that reveal only the most trivial traces of contact or handling, only an inconsequential disturbance to the toning noted directly in front of the seated Helvetia. Tied for the second-finest example of the issue certified by NGC.
Ex. Stack's Bowers (August 2019, Lot 21755)
