Mauritius
British Colony. George IV copper Piefort 25 Sous ND (1822) MS65 Red and Brown NGC, Lec-15 (Rare). A challenging and interesting emission displaying French legends despite being minted under British administration. Lecompte's price guide for this issue reads "not listed" under Mint State, and yet this specimen boasts an irrefutable Gem state of preservation. Still sparkling with underlying luster that enlivens the original red, this thick flan reads beautifully in hand.
