Leopold I gold Proof "Royal Wedding" 100 Francs 1853 PR62 Cameo PCGS, Brussels mint, KM-XM3.1, Fr-409, Dupriez-538 (R1). Hyphen between dates variety. Mintage: 482. By L. Wiener. Struck to commemorate the marriage of the Duke and Duchess of Brabant. A wholly enchanting single-year type produced for and distributed at the wedding of the Duke and Duchess of Brabant. Executed to painstaking calculation, with each portrait sensitively rendered and fully struck-up, the full frost effect of the raised devices lends perfectly to the added depth within the reflective pools beneath. An appealing harvest tone amplifies the aesthetic caliber of the piece at hand, and with so few Proofs and Specimens extant within the certified population reports, we expect no shortage of bidder interest when this piece crosses the auction block.
