Description

Elusive "Thorn Wreath" 100 Lei

Carol II gold "Jubilee" 100 Lei 1940 UNC Details (Repaired) NGC, Bucharest mint, KM-XM11, Schäffer/Stambuliu-110. Thorn wreath obverse type. Struck to commemorate the 10th year of Carol II's reign. An iconic type and certainly among the most visually captivating examples of 100 Lei from this era of Romanian coinage, distinguished by the instantly recognizable thorn wreath framing the sitter's portrait. The reverse features equally as stimulating a design, with the shields of Wallachia, Moldavia, Dobruja, Transylvania, Oltenia, and the House of Hohenzollern surrounding the King's royal cypher. Each face of the issue, while possessing issues relating to surface quality, glistens upon illumination, with the protected peripheries percolating with originality. As one of only 5 currently certified by NGC and only the second we've seen in recent decades, we expect advanced collectors to take keen interest.
