 1. Carol II 100 Lei 1932 MS64 PCGS, London mint







Carol II 100 Lei 1932 MS64 PCGS, London mint, KM52, Schäffer/Stambuliu-92. A well-executed issue offered here in finer condition than is usually seen. In fact, only two examples certified by PCGS surpass this attractive near-Gem piece on the census.

Carol II 100 Lei 1932 MS63 PCGS, Paris mint, KM52, Schäffer/Stambuliu-92a. The scarcer mint for this issue, a subtype we haven't offered since 2017. Inhabited by ash and salt silver coloration, with spinning luster circulating the flan during in-hand inspection. Appreciable here at this Choice preservation.

3. Carol II gold "Angel over Arms" 100 Lei 1939 UNC Details (Rim Filing, Cleaned) NGC, Bucharest mint







Famed Romanian Rarity 1939 100 Lei 

Carol II gold "Angel over Arms" 100 Lei 1939 UNC Details (Rim Filing, Cleaned) NGC, Bucharest mint, KM-XM8, Schäffer/Stambuliu-102 var. (listed as medal alignment). Coin alignment. Reeded edge. Struck in celebration of the centennial of the birth of Carol I. A behemoth within the greater Romanian series and one always contested regardless of conditional assignment as so few are ever available, even to the most advanced collectors. While encountered with much greater frequency as a Pattern, this will be just the second time we've had the pleasure of handling an example in gold, the first being the Paramount specimen in 2021. Despite sharing a mintage with its "large arms" counterpart, examples of the "angel over arms" type appear at auction almost half as often. Though examination from an angle reveals fine hairlines across the surface, this piece maintains the majority of its Mint State appeal and originality, broadcasting a uniform honeyed appearance that lends to an appreciable visual allure. With only three occupants of this type certified by NGC, we anticipate ample bidder enthusiasm for a trophy of any Romanian collector.

4. Carol II gold "Jubilee" 100 Lei 1940 UNC Details (Repaired) NGC, Bucharest mint







Elusive "Thorn Wreath" 100 Lei 

Carol II gold "Jubilee" 100 Lei 1940 UNC Details (Repaired) NGC, Bucharest mint, KM-XM11, Schäffer/Stambuliu-110. Thorn wreath obverse type. Struck to commemorate the 10th year of Carol II's reign. An iconic type and certainly among the most visually captivating examples of 100 Lei from this era of Romanian coinage, distinguished by the instantly recognizable thorn wreath framing the sitter's portrait. The reverse features equally as stimulating a design, with the shields of Wallachia, Moldavia, Dobruja, Transylvania, Oltenia, and the House of Hohenzollern surrounding the King's royal cypher. Each face of the issue, while possessing issues relating to surface quality, glistens upon illumination, with the protected peripheries percolating with originality. As one of only 5 currently certified by NGC and only the second we've seen in recent decades, we expect advanced collectors to take keen interest.

5. Carol II gold "Jubilee" 100 Lei 1940 AU55 PCGS, Bucharest mint







Stunning Large-Format Gold Jubilee Issue 

Carol II gold "Jubilee" 100 Lei 1940 AU55 PCGS, Bucharest mint, KM-XM12, Schäffer/Stambuliu-111. By E. W. Becker. Uncircled bust variety. Coin alignment. Reeded edge. Commemorating the first decade of Carol II's reign. Impressively designed and engraved, this flashy, canary-gold example makes for a worthy addition to the specialist's collection. This mammoth piece of gold was unlikely to have seen circulation, so the attributed wear is likely from stacking or storage. 

Carol II's scandalous reign ended in 1940 with his forced abdication following his acquiescence to German and Italian demands during to the so-called Vienna Diktat, which led to significant territorial losses and a complete discrediting of Carol II's foreign policy.

6. Carol II 250 Lei 1935 MS64 PCGS, Bucharest mint







Carol II 250 Lei 1935 MS64 PCGS, Bucharest mint, KM53, Schäffer/Stambuliu-93. A textbook specimen of 1930s Romantic Realism that almost universally found its way to the smelter, making this immaculately preserved example a testament to good fortune and conscientious storage. Of the 4,500,000 originally struck, only one better example is known at PCGS.

7. Carol II gold "Jubilee" 100 Lei 1940 AU55 PCGS, Bucharest mint







Robust Carol II 100 Lei Commemorative 

Carol II gold "Jubilee" 100 Lei 1940 AU55 PCGS, Bucharest mint, KM-XM12, Fr-19, Stamb-111. By E. W. Becker. Uncircled bust variety. Coin alignment. Reeded edge. Commemorating the first decade of Carol II's reign. One of the more attractive compositions in all of Romanian numismatics, which is no small feat. Despite the obverse "flyspecks," almost always seen on the type, this example projects a wonderfully ornamented design and a bright, yet decadently rich amber-honey patina. 

Carol II's scandalous reign ended in 1940 with his forced abdication following his acquiescence to German and Italian demands during to the so-called Vienna Diktat, which led to significant territorial losses and a complete discrediting of Carol II's foreign policy.
