WEST AFRICAN STATES. Gold 25 Francs Essai (Pattern), 1980. Paris Mint. NGC MS-68.
Fr-Unlisted; KM-E10. F.A.O. issue. Mintage: 5 [reported]. INCREDIBLY RARE as its paltry mintage figure would indicate, this dazzling Gem radiates with intense mirrored brilliance and features surface quality that verges upon a liquimetal feel.
Estimate: $2000 - $3000
