BULGARIA. 5 Stotinki, 1888. Brussels Mint. Ferdinand I. PCGS MS-66.
KM-9. Tied for second finest certified with four other examples on the PCGS population report, only two finer (MS 67 [2]). Fully lustrous, this Superb Gem captivates with a cartwheel effect on surfaces lacking tone. Unafflicted by any marks or hairlines, even under magnification, this little beauty is about as exceptional as a 19th century issue can be.
Estimate: $1000 - $1500
