This coin was found in an old coin album…
Think of it ::: a coin is really a flat disc double sided sculpture and should be regarded as such. The artistry involved in creating such tiny wonders is awesome and the history is both humbling and fascinating.

We are selling off quite a few foreign coins. We know nothing about coins. We are not researching them. We are not grading them. Sold as pictured/as is. Good luck.

Comes in a small plastic coin holder.

Provenance:
This is just one item out of a huge stash of clothing, accessories, coins and household items from the Henry Frick estate; the Railroad Magnate. The woman who acquired them originally worked as a ladies maid out on the Frick’s Long Island estate. We purchased them directly from her great granddaughter, a lifelong Danbury resident, who had been their careful and respectful guardian for many years/decades.

Now out into the world once again!
