Henri V Pretender silver Specimen Essai 5 Francs 1871 SP64 PCGS, Brussels mint, KM-X37.2, Maz-926 (R2), VG-2731. A handsome piece admitting just a touch of high-point friction on the Pretender's moustache, otherwise the designs are sharp and lightly frosted as is to be expected. A fully Choice Specimen, with fields that are gloriously glassy, and the reverse carrying a particularly attractive cobalt iridescence revealing when viewed at an angle.
