Norodom I Proof 4 Francs 1860 PR64 NGC, KM-XM8, Dav-149, Lec-80. Engraved by C. Wurden. A silty tone serenely lies over the fields of this Proof 4 Francs, providing a consistent and balanced eye appeal when considered against the glossy finish of the fields underlying. Admirably preserved, with only the most trivial instances of handling visible to the naked eye. A phenomenal representative of this rare Proof striking, and one carrying a further badge of honor as the host to an exceptional pedigree. We note that this coin achieved a hammer price of $13,000 when it sold as part of the Millennia Collection in 2008, which may be taken as an indication of its superior visual quality for both the grade and type. Ex. Millennia Collection (Goldberg Auction 46, May 2008, Lot 882)
