Madagascar
French Protectorate. Ranavalona III silver Fantasy Specimen 5 Francs 1895 SP63 PCGS, London mint, KM-XM4, Lec-30. Mintage: 25. An immensely scarce and covetable example from the minuscule mintage, reportedly produced unofficially by Dr. Reginald Huth of London. Designated as Specimen but fully Prooflike in appearance, with faint wisps throughout the open expanses that retain much of the original reflectivity and provide a contrasting backdrop to the frosted raised motifs.
