Leopold I 5 Francs 1835 MS64 NGC, Brussels mint, KM3.1, Dav-50, Dupriez-122 (R1), Bogaert-122A (R). Position A. A scarce date when compared to the more common 1833-dated issues, which saw over 1.1 million struck against the only 370,000 examples produced in 1835. Better examples, such as the present piece, are therefore downright scarce, with no others certifying above the present level at either NGC or PCGS, and only a single other selection (seen by PCGS) meeting the technical quality of this offering. Clad in a delightful pewter tone with a pullaway effect revealing bright mint luster at the legends and the peripheries of Leopold's bust, this glassy example, ultra-sharp and lacking all but the most trivial signs of handling, might even be considered conservatively graded, easily justifying a competitive bid.
