Charles X Franc 1830-A MS65 PCGS, Paris mint, cf. KM724.1, Gad-450a. Reeded edge, 5-leaf variety. A variant of the Gad-450 type mandated by royal decree in March of 1830 and struck exclusively on a single day, May 24th, 1830. The difference between the two is without question, as the specimen exhibits a level of detail that reminds one of a Proof issue, with exceptional relief across both the king's bust and on the crisp reverse design. Lightly toned with gold and seafoam iridescence visible on both obverse and reverse. From the Engelen Collection of World Coinage
