Republic gold Proof Piefort 10 Francs 1965 PR68 Ultra Cameo NGC, Paris mint, KM-P357, GEM-183.P2. Mintage: 50. A precursor to the subsequent 50 Francs issues, this substantial gold Piefort represents the inaugural date of these highly coveted types, whose prominence has surged in recent years as more specimens emerge in the market. Adorned with the prestigious "Ultra Cameo" designation, it boasts deep, reflective fields and lavishly frosted devices, adding to its allure and distinction. With only eight examples currently certified by the two grading services and presently bested by just one piece, this specimen is undoubtedly covetable and deserving of competitive bidding commensurate with its rarity and remarkable quality.
