Republic gold Proof Piefort 10 Francs 1983 PR66 NGC, Paris mint, KM-P788, GEM-186.P3. Mintage: 12. Despite the planned mintage of 75 pieces, which appears more in line with earlier Pieforts of this denomination, only 12 were produced, with almost none coming to auction apart from a singular instance, where Heritage offered a PR63 in 2007. The current representative stands atop the four witnessed by NGC and seemingly deserving of a "Cameo" designation, a feat from an era where this denomination generally lacks reflectivity and frost. Accompanied by the original Monnaie de Paris box and COA #0056.
