SPAIN. Silver 5 Pesetas Pattern, 1874. Brussels Mint. Charles VII. NGC MS-65.
KMX-PT3b; Cal-type-8#13. Date on Reverse - Plain edge variety. Magnificently accomplished, this pattern issue showcases meticulous engraving that is sharp and elegant, while the rims rise sharply from the fields and create a dramatic frame for the designs. Cabinet kept for ages, deep tone appears on both sides, with concentrations of greens and reds around the raised obverse surfaces while the coverage is more expansive on the reverse. Unmatched at either NGC or PCGS in terms of quality, this issue is sure to strike a chord with the collector that seeks both rarity and quality.
From the Avrabanel Collection.
Estimate: $2500 - $5000
