Famed Romanian Rarity 1939 100 Lei

Carol II gold "Angel over Arms" 100 Lei 1939 UNC Details (Rim Filing, Cleaned) NGC, Bucharest mint, KM-XM8, Schäffer/Stambuliu-102 var. (listed as medal alignment). Coin alignment. Reeded edge. Struck in celebration of the centennial of the birth of Carol I. A behemoth within the greater Romanian series and one always contested regardless of conditional assignment as so few are ever available, even to the most advanced collectors. While encountered with much greater frequency as a Pattern, this will be just the second time we've had the pleasure of handling an example in gold, the first being the Paramount specimen in 2021. Despite sharing a mintage with its "large arms" counterpart, examples of the "angel over arms" type appear at auction almost half as often. Though examination from an angle reveals fine hairlines across the surface, this piece maintains the majority of its Mint State appeal and originality, broadcasting a uniform honeyed appearance that lends to an appreciable visual allure. With only three occupants of this type certified by NGC, we anticipate ample bidder enthusiasm for a trophy of any Romanian collector.
