Henri V Pretender silver Specimen Essai 5 Francs 1873 SP63 PCGS, KM-X38, Maz-927. A fleeting Pretender issue struck to a silver Crown-sized specification. Encountered at major auction only sparingly, the last of this type that crossed the auction block through our firm was an NGC MS62 example from the Cape Coral Collection that hammered for an impressive $3600 in 2020. This technically superior Specimen exhibits dark, gun-metal patina accompanied by polychromatic iridescence; both of which compliment the exquisitely rendered detail to an appreciable degree.
