Description
Trial Strikes for a Denomination Never Issued in Gold
Republic gilt-copper Proof Uniface Trial Strike Essai Venezolano Obverse and Reverse Pair ND (1875),1) Obverse Trial, PR63 NGC, Paris mint, KM-TS1. Reeded edge.
2) Reverse Trial, PR63 NGC , Paris mint, KM-TS2. Reeded edge.
Both uniface examples are gilt on the design side with exposed copper surfaces on their reverse. Apparently struck at the Paris mint using trial planchets for the 20 Centimes denomination with both reverses holding a retrograde 20 C in the center of the planchet. Superficial handling defines the grade. The first set of this type that we have seen and undoubtedly extremely rare.
