Confederation gold Pattern 20 Francs 1873 MS64 NGC, KM-PN24. Brussels mint, KM-Pn26, HMZ 2-1227. Angel head mintmark. By Leopold Wiener. The finest of this Pattern issue that we have encountered, a rarity confirmed by its penultimate position on the NGC census, with only one piece grading higher. Flashing luster transfixes the eye, battling for attention with the masterfully rendered devices. All this, seamlessly incorporated by the untoned flan, which emits a quiet assuredness one cannot help but to admire.
