Owner Comments:
KM-Pn19 (Previously Pn7 - New numbering in KM due to updates) 5 francs, .900 Silver, plain edge, thick date, squared off shoulder and smaller bust type, but thicker date. Obverse is interestingly textured in fields. (Ciani-711 variety) NGCMS62. ex. B&M 3/1/2008 ex. Chirico Collection, where I was the high floor bidder at the live auction. The sale had low estimate on material that had not seen an auction in a very long time, if ever. The prices realized were often multiples of even the high estimates.
