CAMBODIA. Silver 25 Centimes Essai (Pattern), 1860-CW. Norodom I. PCGS MS-64 Gold Shield.
KMX-M4; Lec-35. A highly interesting example where Charles Wurden's initials on the obverse appears as "OW" instead of "CW" and is indicated as such on the PCGS insert, but this cataloger is not convinced this was done intentionally and in fact believe it is the result of die rust and degradation of the die causing this illusion. This unusual example displays lovely rich patination with semi-reflective surfaces offering a pleasing appearance sure to excite many collectors.
Estimate: $1500.00- $2000.00
