Zog I gold Prova 100 Franga Ari 1928-R MS64 NGC, Rome mint, KM-Pr38, Fr-8, Pag-791. By G. Romagnoli. From a reported mintage of 50 pieces, this extremely rare 100 Franga Ari type offers perhaps the most beautiful rendition of the design within the Prova issues of 1928, with the lovely and striking laurel rim set in high relief against the depth of the fields. With a mintage so sparse, the present example must surely be near the apex of surviving quality, presenting near-gem surfaces essentially devoid of marks and permeated with soft, velveteen luster.
Ex. Numismatica Genevensis Auction 2 (November 2002, Lot 255)
