Carol I gold 100 Lei 1906-(b) MS62 PCGS, Brussels mint, KM40, MBR-83, Stamb-067. Mintage: 3,000. Struck in commemoration of the 40th anniversary of Carol I's reign. A very rare one-year commemorative, especially in Mint State, with the highest yet awarded for the type at either NGC or PCGS being MS64. Notably Prooflike throughout the surfaces as was first noted in the Hammel sale, close inspection both with and without the aid of a loupe reveals strong die polish over both sides between scattered surface chatter, clearly pointing to the high standards under which this coin was produced. Significantly eye-catching to say the least, and befitting any collection in search of a high-quality representative. Ex. Mortimer Hammel Collection (Stack's September 1982, Lot 577)
