Description
Seldom Seen 1963 Paris Mint Greek Pattern Set in Original Case
King Paul Two-piece silver Specimen Pattern Set of 30 Drachmai 1963, both are SP67 NGC Paris mint, Karamitsos-T.136, KM-Pn78, each of these listings is for a single coin, although, Karamitsos states, "Initially released in pairs, wrapped in luxurious cases. Also included in this lot is the aforementioned, "luxurious case," in essentially mint condition and marked on the inside in gold lettering, "MONNAIE DE PARIS." OBV. Crowned arms of Greece in the center, surrounded by the portraits of five Greek kings. Rev. A map of Greece with the names of the Islands and provinces. Also on the upper right part of the reverse is the word, "ΑΝΑΜΝΗΣΤΙΚΟΝ," seen only on the pattern coins. Both examples are lustrous, and well struck, with no mentionable flaws and mottled reddish-brown toning. We were aware that these patterns existed and had heard of individual pieces selling in the past, but we have never heard, nor can we reference a past sale of the two-piece set, as issued from the Paris mint in the original case. A truly fantastic offering and one that may not occur again.Auction Info
