Lightly Cameoed 10 Venezolanos Obverse Die Trial

Republic gilt-copper Proof Uniface Obverse Trial Strike Essai 10 Venezolanos ND (1875) PR62 NGC, Paris mint, KM-TS5. Reeded edge. The gilt surfaces remain rather effulgent with a cameo appearance evident between the central devices and the glinting fields. Some moderate handling is noted, but its overall presence is well-spread and minimally distracting. "ESSAI" is placed along the rim near 7 o'clock and in the copper centers of the reverse, a retrograde "50 F", previously impressed upon the flan, is seen. An amazing second opportunity for the collector that missed out on the obverse and reverse trial set in the previous lot to come away with the obverse design from this extremely elusive proposed gold denomination.
