Description

Republic gold Proof 20 Pesos 1915 PR64 Cameo PCGS, Philadelphia mint, KM21, Fr-1. Dies engraved and prepared by Charles Barber. A quintessential rarity from the Cuban gold series, one hardly witnessed at sale, much less at this near-Gem state of preservation. While the Standard Catalog of World Coins does not list individual mintages for the 1915-dated Proofs, a mintage for the set is listed at 24 total, a fact clearly confirmed by the amount of certified examples extant, numbering currently at 15. The representative at hand evinces a highly sought-after technical quality, the expanses brimming with reflectivity and the coin as a whole seemingly devoid of an opportunity for improvement, apart from a few gentle wisps to the fields. Just four examples rank higher at NGC, making this specimen one of the finest obtainable certified representatives of this famed type. HID09801242017 © 2023 Heritage Auctions | All Rights Reserved
