Rare 1866-1906 Leu in Proof Format

Carol I Proof "Medallic Alignment" Leu 1906 PR66 PCGS, Brussels mint, cf. KM34, cf. Schäffer/Stambuliu-61. Reeded Edge. Medal Alignment. Clearly a coin made of special circumstances, not only does this commemorative Leu example exhibit die alignment that differs from that of the standard issue, the planchet was clearly specially prepared for its striking. Aggressive die-polish lines on each side, creating concentric circles in some areas combine with booming, blast-white brilliance that is not common for business strikes of the type. This offering marks the first 1906 Leu Proof designation from PCGS, joining a single example certified by NGC, very rare and should be of significant consequence to Romanian specialists.
