Selections from the Eric P. Newman Collection of World Coins. Republic Proof 40 Centavos 1915, KM17, PR68 NGC. A visual masterpiece and likely the finest known of this popular and short-lived denomination. The endless glassy mirrors in the fields are unimpeded by intermittent blushes of blue, burgundy and golden colors. Mild cameo contrast is evident on the central devices. From a scant original mintage of only 100 proofs, this is a true prize for the Cuban specialist. Krause catalog price(s) for this item: $135 in VF, $185 in EF, $450 in UNC, $800 in BU.
Estimate: 6000-8000 USD
