BULGARIA

BULGARIA. Lev, 1916. Ferdinand I. NGC MS-63.

KM-31. Tied for third finest certified of the date with seven other examples on the NGC population report, only two finer (MS 64 & MS 65). A sharply struck and highly lustrous survivor exhibiting semi-reflective surfaces that highlight the frosty devices. Attractive delicate tone in the peripheries accentuate the intricate design elements giving the high grade minor a very pleasing appearance worthy of a premium bid. Despite an enormous mintage this date was withdrawn from circulation and destroyed with an unknown amount still outstanding. This action is the primary reason why it is such a difficult date to locate in high grade.

Estimate: $2500.00- $3500.00
