France
Republic Proof 5 Francs 1876-A PR65+ Cameo PCGS, Paris mint, cf. KM820.1 (unlisted in Proof), Gad-745a (same). A striking jewel representative of this fleeting 5 Francs in Proof, rare and unlisted in this format. The gem status of this example leaves nothing to be desired, enabling a full expression of vertical die polish lines in the fields that surround highly sculpted features, while the overall finish remains distinctively glassy with a hint of reflectivity. Soft sunset tones embrace the periphery in a framing effect, producing a balanced eye appeal to this standout offering.
