COMOROS. Silvered Copper 5 Francs Pattern, AH 1308-A (1890). Paris Mint. PCGS SPECIMEN-61 Gold Shield.
KM-Unlisted; Maz-Unlisted; Lec-7. Reeded Edge variety. A VERY RARE pattern for this important world crown with loads of eye appeal for the grade. On both sides, the designs remain razor-sharp and are accented by the antiqued gold, mauve and blue tone that surround them. In the open fields, significant brilliance is on display, with close inspection revealing significant die polish lines (which may have also contributed to the seemingly conservative grading). One of only two examples we can trace, this piece would add great depth to any collection of world crowns or patterns.
Estimate: $3500 - $4500
