Description
Impeccable Gem Presentation 40 Francs
Leopold I gold Proof 40 Francs 1835 PR65 Ultra Cameo NGC,
Brussels mint, KM-B23.1, Fr-403, Delm-1257 (R3). Position B.
Lettered edge. By Joseph-Pierre Braemt. A great rarity from the
Belgian series, intended as a regular circulation issue in coinage
law while in reality, was issued in limited quantities for
presentation purposes. These Proofs are incredibly scarce and the
example on offer is likely one of if not the finest piece available
to the public. Out of the four total graded across NGC and PCGS,
this is the finest numerical grade, not to mention the elite Ultra
Cameo designation. A rich harvest tone covers the flan, dramatizing
the impact of the broad mirrors and the impeccable articulation of
Leopold's bust and the reverse wreath. Some stray marks and a touch
of disturbance to the raised frost are expected on what is
otherwise an impeccable coin. Certainly a type that will not return
to market in this quality soon.Metal: Gold
