ROMANIA. Lead 100 Lei Pattern, 1906. Carol I. PCGS SPECIMEN-65.
cf. Schaffer/Stambuliu-065 (Unlisted Composition). Weight: 26.27 gms. Medal orientation. Reeded edge. A striking pattern in lead, this wonderful issue yields a soft luster that ripples throughout the flan and strong details with limited evidence of handling on the surfaces. Soft blue toning adds to the appeal, as does the slight rotation of reverse die in relationship to obverse die. A wonderful piece that should command immense attention and respect from any specialist in Romanian coinage or World crowns more generally.
Estimate: $2500 - $5000
