CAMBODIA. Brass Medallic 5 Francs Trial, 1875. Mennig Brothers (Brussels) Mint. Norodom I. PCGS SPECIMEN-63 Gold Shield. KMX-T4; Lec-96; Gad-11. Diameter: 37 mm. This brass example, as well as other metal contents, was produced by Menning Brothers as a salesman's sample in an effort to sell minting equipment to Cambodia. Though featuring the often encountered bust of Norodom on its obverse, the reverse displays more of a western iconography, with the Prince and Heavenly Host, St. Michael the Archangel slaying the devil as a fallen angel. A highly attractive survivor exhibiting a sharp strike with semi-reflective fields displaying lovely rich brassy patination boasting a plethora of complementary hues offering much originality and great eye appeal sure to catch the attention of many collectors. Estimate: $5,000 - $7,000. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
