Republic gold Proof "Bazor" 100 Francs 1936 PR65 Deep Cameo PCGS, Paris mint, cf. KM880 (unlisted in Proof), F-554/8 (same), Gad-1148. By Lucien Bazor. Highly emblematic of the artistic style of Third Republic coinage, this deeply mirrored example displays bright, watery golden fields that act to capture incoming light and sharply chisel the devices. Interestingly, neither the Standard Catalog of World Coins nor Le Franc record this date in Proof finish. While some extremely light bagmarks are present in the expanses, visible only under proper magnification, they largely slip into obscurity as the coin is rotated in hand. With only one example currently ranking higher at PCGS, this pleasing gem is sure to find the coveted attention it deserves.
