Carol I gold Specimen "Ministry of Public Relations - Palace Inauguration" Medal 1910 SP63 PCGS, Forrer-V.5, pg. 94, 276.19gm. 70mm. By J. Resch. Struck in celebration of the completion of Bucharest's Palace of the Ministry of Public Works. Few contemporary Medals can claim to match the level of aesthetic quality seen on the offering at hand, providing instant verification of additional care and attention to detail that accompanied this piece's product. Rendered in immense relief and fine perspective, each engraved detail practically leaps towards the viewer while a commendable heft is immediately recognized when in-hand. While mint brilliance abounds this decidedly Choice representative, a handful of obverse wisps likely preclude an even loftier designation. Regardless, this specimen appears to be the only example seen at market in the last two decades, and its scarcity likely confirms its purpose of presentation to a notable attendant of the inauguration.
