Description

Carol I Proof 5 Bani 1884-B PR65 Red and Brown PCGS, Bucharest mint, KM19, Schäffer/Stambuliu-31. One curtain fold variety. Unlisted by Schäffer and Stambuliu in Proof and unlocatable in recent auction record archives, this current Gem offering can undoubtedly be classified as a Romanian rarity. The immaculate specimen retains every detail of its original strike and leverages its red patina to maximize its aesthetic appeal. This is the only coin of its type to be certified as Proof by either grading service. An opportunity to obtain such an elusive Proof type should not be taken lightly by specialists that crave the seemingly unobtainable.
