An unimaginably rare complete set of Pieforts from this recently contested series, each denomination with a mintage firmly in the single and low double-digits, hovering between 5 and 17 pieces produced. According to auction records from the last two decades, the seemingly scarcer platinum Pieforts are more likely to come to market despite mintage figures around half of the gold, each instance generating impressive fanfare and bidder engagement. Here we present a mix of appreciable grades and superlatives that demand an advanced bid from modern collectors of the French series.
