FRENCH INDO-CHINA. Aluminum Piastre Essai (Pattern), 1931. Paris Mint. PCGS SPECIMEN-64.
KM-EA26; Lec-311. An EXTREMELY RARE pattern, though probably not unique as Krause calls it, given that 14 have been certified by PCGS, this example displays a stunning strike and lovely luster that presents aluminum strikes at their finest. Free from oxidation, perhaps the only fault that can be raised is some flan roughness, though this gets lost in the overall wonder of the type. Perfect for those looking for dramatic off-metal strikes.
Estimate: $1500 - $2500
