Carol I Proof 2 Lei 1872 PR63 PCGS, Brussels mint, KM8, Schäffer/Stambuliu-7. For offer here is a significant Romanian rarity. Occasionally the Pattern version of this single-year issue, which includes the word "Essai" below the wreath on the reverse, surfaces for auction but this cataloger could find no comparable auction results for the Proof version of the standard circulation design. This lot also represents the only example of its kind at either PCGS or NGC. The design detail on the obverse shield is staggering, the reverse portrays heavy horizontal die-polish, and the glossy satin luster easily bursts forth from the light patination. A special opportunity for the most selective of collectors to acquire a true rarity.

3. Carol I Specimen Pattern 2 Lei 1881-(b) SP64 PCGS, Bucharest mint
Carol I Specimen Pattern 2 Lei 1881-(b) SP64 PCGS, Bucharest mint, KM-Pn41, Schäffer/Stambuliu-29. (this coin). A piece of unmistakable beauty and rarity; this unique Pattern striking of the 1881 2 Lei, distinguished from it's Vienna circulation counterpart via not only a "B" mintmark, but the quality in its production and preservation, is sure to be among the most coveted specimens from the entirety of this impressive and exhaustive collection. Lavishly and carefully struck, resulting in near-medallic features that project boldly towards the viewer with matte-like qualities, this superior Bucharest product maintains a palpable visual allure hard to surpass. Flashes of originality glisten throughout, tempered by a lavender-tinged pewter patina likely developed through long-time storage in an advanced cabinet. Nary a visual distraction is of note, with only the occasional wisp to preclude a full Gem status. With so few unique pieces of Romanian origin, the only comparable example we've been able to locate in recent decades was the unique 1881 Leu Pattern, also certified SP64 with less aesthetic character hammering at $30,000, we anticipate specialists and trophy-hunters alike to take aim at the offering at hand.

Carol I 2 Lei 1881-V MS64 PCGS, Vienna mint, KM15, Schäffer/Stambuliu-22. Very nearly the PCGS "Top Pop" specimen of this Vienna mint production that is extremely scarce at such a distinguished level of conservation. The obverse is cloaked in attractive mottled, old-time silver toning while the reverse exhibits more of the original argent brilliance. A choice specimen worthy of significant attention from those looking to acquire an esteemed example of this one-year issue.
