Leopold I gold Specimen "Royal Wedding" 100 Francs 1853 AU Details (Reverse Graffiti) NGC, Brussels mint, KM-XM3.1, Fr-409, Dupriez-529 (R3), Bogaert-535B2 (R3). Hyphen between dates variety. Mintage: 482. Struck to commemorate the marriage of the Duke and Duchess of Brabant. Perhaps a more affordable example of this commemorative issue, displaying isolated marks and a single instance of swirled lines to the left of the reverse conjoined busts, likely accounting for the "graffiti" notation. Despite light rub at the higher points and gentle hairlines to the fields, this specimen conveys ample mint luster throughout, indicating its close proximity to Mint State condition. Fully struck and displaying clear outlines to all devices along with a commendable degree of remaining detail.
