Louis Philippe I bronze Specimen Pattern 5 Francs 1833 SP66 Red PCGS, Maz-1152 (R1). An exceptional representative of this large Pattern, struck to test the new dies by Thonnelier. Easily one of, if not the, finest to come to auction, the fully red surfaces deeply mirrored, lending to the cameo-like effect imbued upon the finely detailed bust of Louis Philippe.
