BELGIUM, Kingdom. Léopold I. 1831-1865. AR 2 Francs (28mm, 10.02 g, 6h). Bruxelles (Brussels) mint. Dated 1849. KM 10; Cr 18. In NGC encapsulation graded MS 63. Somewhat moderate mottled toning over lustrous surfaces, scrape behind head in field.


Purchased from Empire Coins, December 1981.

Only two of these have ever been graded, with the highest being MS 64. The other piece sold for $10,000 hammer in 2011 in a Ponterio sale. This is one of the rarest coins of the modern Belgian series and only seldom available on the market.
