Description

Carol I 5 Lei 1880-B MS63 PCGS, Bucharest mint, KM12, Schäffer/Stambuliu-18. Engraver's name at truncation. A slightly scarcer variety or this already difficult date to locate in Mint State, distinguished by the placement of Kullrich's signature below the truncation as opposed to near the beading. Lovely pastels coat the sepia-infused surfaces on this conditionally scarce type, while the undisturbed waves in the King's beard indicate the quality of preservation. This type almost never appears at auction this nice, with the last we handled of this type in comparable preserving being the MS65 Cape Coral example in 2021.
