I. Ferdinand I gold "Coronation" 25 Lei 1922 MS60 NGC, KM-XM2, Fr-12. A popular coronation issue featuring the crowned busts of Ferdinand I and Queen Marie of Romania. An even scattering of obverse handling accounts for the grade, the offering on the whole displaying an attractive satiny luster which appears largely unaffected by handling on the reverse.
II. Ferdinand I gold "Coronation" 50 Lei 1922 MS61 NGC, KM-XM3, Fr-11. A brightly lustrous and fully uncirculated representative of this sought-after issue produced for the coronation of Ferdinand I and Marie of Romania. Light wisps of handling scattered throughout the surfaces account for the grade, but their satiny nature clearly attests to a condition that should and can hardly be overlooked.
III. Ferdinand I gold Medallic 100 Lei 1922 (1928/1929) MS61 NGC, London mint, KM-XM4, Fr-9, Stamb-085. Golden satiny cartwheel luster and full detail confirm the Mint State preservation of this desirable issue. Although dated 1922, the type was actually struck in 1928-1929 (after Ferdinand's death) in accordance with the 1927 decree to celebrate the 5th anniversary since his coronation as King of Romania.
IV. Carol I gold 50 Lei 1906 UNC Details (Rim Filing, Cleaned) NGC, Brussels mint, KM39. Commemorating the 40th Anniversary of Carol's reign. Struck in exceptionally low relief, with only a very slight strip of metal missing from the upper rim and uniformly hairlined throughout, justifying the Details grade. Not unattractive nonetheless as an example of the type, with bright canary-yellow surfaces retaining much mint luster.
V. Carol I gold 100 Lei 1906-(b) AU Details (Rim Damage) NGC, Brussels mint, KM40. One-year type struck to commemorate the 40th anniversary of Carol I's reign. Scarce in all states of preservation, with only 3,000 produced in total. Apparently cleaned and lightly scratched, though this is not noted on the insert.
VI. Ferdinand I gold Medallic 20 Lei 1922 (1928/1929)-(a) MS63 PCGS, London mint, KM-XM1, Stamb-082. Struck in commemoration of Ferdinand's coronation. An appealing and comparatively rare one-year commemorative, some minor chatter, in-line with the grade, confined primarily to the obverse.
VII. Carol II gold 20 Lei 1940 MS61 PCGS, Bucharest mint, KM-XM9, Fr-18, Stamb-108. Struck in commemoration of the 10th anniversary of Carol's reign. A desirable and highly collectible issue here seen with shimmering golden luster and no larger instances of handling to detract from its Mint State appeal.
VIII. Carol I gold 20 Lei 1883-B MS64 PCGS, Bucharest mint, KM20. Stemming from just a two-year series and currently unsurpassed at either NGC or PCGS.
IX. Carol I gold 25 Lei 1906 AU53 NGC, KM38. A scarce type struck in very low relief, appearing here with slight wear and bright sun-yellow surfaces. AGW 0.2334 oz.
X. Romania Banca Nationala a Romaniei 500 Lei 1930-1938 Pick 32b Group of Three Fine-Extremly Fine. (Total: 3 notes)
XI. Romania Banca Nationala a Romaniei 100 Lei 13.5.1930 Pick 33 Very Fine. Romania Banca Nationala a Romaniei 2000 Lei 1941-1944 Pick 53a About Uncirculated-Choice Uncirculated (4). (Total: 5 notes)
XII. Carol II nickel-brass Proof 20 Lei 1930 PR66 PCGS, London mint, KM51. The single finest graded of three seen by NGC or PCGS, a far rarer type than those produced at Heaton, Kings Norton or Paris, and presented here in superb premium gem grade. As-struck, toned to a deep copper-red with seafoam highlights.
XIII. Carol I 5 Bani 1867-H SP66 Red PCGS, KM3.1. With Heaton written out at the bottom of the reverse. A superior example of the type with dazzling mint brilliance.
XIV. Carol I Specimen 10 Bani 1867-Heaton SP64 Red and Brown PCGS, Heaton mint, KM4.1. This coin retains much of its original coloring with minimal contact marks. Other examples of this issue have been called proof.
XV. Carol I gilt-bronze Ban 1888-B MS64 NGC, Bucharest mint, KMA18a. Mintage: 500. Originally produced for presentation to Queen Elizabeth of Romania and later used for charity and distributed at Palace functions at the rate of 20 Lei for 1 Ban, this delightful minor preserves a somewhat reserved patina to its gilding, revealing watery pulses of luster under good light. One of only a handful of the survivors to be certified.
