This specimen was lot 1002 in Stack's Bowers NYINC sale (New York, January 2022), where it sold for $3,840. The catalog description^[1] noted, "ALBANIA. 20 Franga Ari, 1927-V. Vienna Mint. Zog I. PCGS MS-65. Fr-6; KM-12. Mintage: 5,053. Struck to commemorate Prince George Kastrioti 'Skanderbeg,' this blazing Gem offers attractive mint brilliance and a satiny appearance. An overall appealing radiance exists to the luster, with the cartwheeling being unbroken by contact."

• Albania 1927-V 20 franga ari 6.45 g, 0.900 fine gold, 21 mm diameter.

This specimen was lot 1108 in Stack's Bowers NYINC sale (New York, January 2022), where it sold for $4,320. The catalog description^[1] noted, "FRANCE. Silver 5 Francs Essai (Pattern), 1831. Henry V (as King in Pretense). NGC PROOF-64. KMX-35; Maz-905; VG-2690. This fantastic looking example offers a pleasing appearance with flashy reflective surfaces and frosted devices. The beautiful, mottled patina is vivid mostly radiating from the edges and devices while the exposed areas are a soft gray with complete frosty design features. This pleasing near-Gem survivor offers great eye appeal worthy of an advance quality oriented collection.

The disputed King of France for a week in early August 1830, Henry V, Comte de Chambord (1820-83), was never proclaimed king, was the Legitimist (as opposed to Orleanist or Bonapartist) pretender to the throne of France. The crown ultimately fell to a rival claimant, from the House of Orleans, Louis Philippe. Numerous patterns or fantasies exist with his bust, all struck outside of France. This one was struck in silver (shown here), bronze (Maz-905c) and piéfort (double weight, Maz-905a)."

• France 1831 5 francs Maz-905

This specimen was lot 1117 in Stack's Bowers NYINC sale (New York, January 2022), where it did not sell. The catalog description^[1] noted, "FRANCE. Silver 5 Francs Essai (Pattern), 1871. Brussels Mint. Henry V (as King in Pretense). PCGS SPECIMEN-63. Maz-926; VG-2731. Highly original, this fantasy issue in silver exhibits swaths of variegated tone that sit atop highly reflective fields on both sides. For the collector of crowns, this piece absolutely represents an exotic type that is sure to impart great depth to the next collection it enters. Struck to recognize Henry of Artois, the Count of Chambord, as the French monarch. The last legitimate descendant in the male line of Louis XV of France (his great-great-grandfather), he was viewed by those who adhered to the traditional dynastic succession of descendants as their pretender from 1844-1883."

• France 1871 5 francs Maz-926

This specimen was lot 1430 in Stack's Bowers NYINC sale (New York, January 2022), where it sold for $1,800. The catalog description^[1] noted, "JAPAN. Tajima. Nan Ryo, ND (1750). PCGS EF-45. KM-65; JNDA-09-75. An attractive gray-toned piece with slightly lighter color on the highpoints. A RARE provincial type. Tajima Province was located in what is today a northern area of Hyōgo Prefecture. The region is perhaps best known to outsiders as the birthplace of Kobe beef."

This specimen was lot 2038 in Stack's Bowers NYINC sale (New York, January 2022), where it sold for $6,600. The catalog description^[1] noted, "GIBRALTAR. Gibraltar - MEXICO. 1/2 Dollar, ND (ca. 1765). NGC VF-30. KM-19 (plate coin, Martinique); Prid-17 (Dominica). Weight: 10.86 g. Type IV countermark: blunt heart-shaped cut-out with ornamented edges; all on a 1744-Mo MF Mexico pillar 4 Reales of Philip V. This denomination is by far the least seen from this series and should be considered EXTREMELY RARE. This moderately worn example exhibits even wear displaying attractive old cabinet patina with richer slate patination near the edges and in the crevasses. The cut, though slightly uneven from a somewhat degraded punch, offers clear details of the ornamental design and exhibits signs of wear that one would expect from the assigned grade. This highly desirable issue, missing from many important collections, is seldom encountered and is always heavily sought after as few examples are known to have survived today. From the Pat Johnson Collection. Ex: John J. Ford Collection (Glendining's London 10/1989) Lot # 72."

This specimen was lot 2418 in Stack's Bowers NYINC sale (New York, January 2022), where it sold for $2,880. The catalog description^[1] noted,

"AZORES. Azores - Portugal. 2 Tostao (200 Reais), ND (1582). Angra do Heroismo Mint. Antonio I (the Prior of Crato). PCGS AU-50; Countermark: AU Details. Gomes-An.26.01; Museu Numismatico Portugues-1992. Issued by decree of August 1582. Countermark: Falcon with shaped indent. Countermark applied to the obverse of a undated Lisbon mint Tostao of Manuel I. A SCARCE and seldom encountered issue. The countermark is deeply impressed, though slight[ly] obscured by the host design features, on a nicely preserved host coin. The surfaces are relatively smooth with minor earthen deposits adding to its originality and pleasing appearance. This piece has very little evidence of circulation and the rich gray surfaces give this interesting example an antiquated look.

Due to financial hardships and debasement of his coinage Antonio I issued the 1 April 1582 decree decreasing the value of copper coinage resulting in them being countermarked. Later in August of the same year, another decree was issued that raised the value of all gold and silver coinage of good weight and purity then in circulation, mostly of earlier Portuguese or Spanish origins, doubling their value. This was the easiest way to alleviate the monetary crisis, but copper coinage remained unchanged since there was no profit to be made. When later defeated by the Spanish, all debased coinage of Antonio I was confiscated under penalty of death, explaining their rarity today. Antonio fled to France and eventually to Holland seeking help to re-establish his throne, but failed to gain support and ended his days in France on a small pension."

This specimen was lot 2435 in Stack's Bowers NYINC sale (New York, January 2022), where it sold for $1,380. The catalog description^[1] noted,

"NETHERLANDS. Holland - Deventer. 28 Stuivers (Florin), ND (1693). NGC AU-58; Countermark: UNC Stand[a]rd. KM-69.2; Delm-1110 (without countermark). 'HOL' within rectangle indent. Countermark applied to the obverse of an undated De[ven]ter 28 Stuivers (Florin) of Ferdinand II. This issue appears on the market with some frequency and can usually be found in well-worn and less than desirable states of preservation. Examples found in Extremely Fine or better are tough to locate with pieces nearing Mint State being few and far between and practically nonexistent. This is the finest survivor of this issue that this cataloger has observed and a real treat for the quality conscious collector. The surfaces display light signs of handling primarily contained to the high points with plenty of remaining luster in the protected areas. A thin veneer of tone with areas of richer coloration add to its pleasing appearance and originality.

During the latter part of the 17th Century, Europe saw many circulating coins that were light in weight. As a result, several of the Dutch provinces required coins to be checked. If found to be of correct weight they were countermarked for that specific province or city."

This specimen was lot 2447 in Stack's Bowers NYINC sale (New York, January 2022), where it sold for $2,880. The catalog description^[1] noted, "NEVIS. Nevis - French Guiana (Cayenne). Black Dog (Three Half Pence), ND (ca. 1801). PCGS AU-50; Countermark: AU Details. KM-1; Lec-59; Prid-5. Countermarked "NEVIS" with rectangle border within shaped border applied to the obverse of a 1789-A French Guiana (Colony of Cayenne) 2 Sous. The countermark is boldly applied to a nicely preserved host with plenty of remaining detail. The surfaces are smooth exhibiting light signs of handling displaying lovely rich chocolate brown patina. This highly attractive survivor is far superior to that normally encountered, making it destined to catch the attention of the quality conscious specialist."

This specimen was lot 2451 in Stack's Bowers NYINC sale (New York, January 2022), where it sold for $7,200. The catalog description^[1] noted,

"TRINIDAD. Trinidad - Mexico. 9 Bitts (9 Shillings), ND (1811). NGC VERY FINE. KM-A13 (plate coin); cf. Prid-3. Issued by local authority of 11 June 1811. Octagonal shaped cut from the obverse on 1794-Mo FM Mexico Bust 8 Reales of Charles IIII (IV). This charming survivor exhibits moderate wear with plenty of remaining details on this usually well-worn issue displaying rich old cabinet patina with an iridescent sheen that pops out when tilted in the light. Additional "T" punches have been applied to the obverse and reverse, struck multiple times. There are no known official documents that pertain to these additional markings on dollars. These punches seem to be in imitation of the "T" punch found on the central plugs, but do not match in style of application.

When the authorization was given on June 11th the quantity of dollars to be cut was not to exceed 25,000. The central cutout segments were given a declared value of 1 Bitt (1 Shilling) and were stamped with the initial "T" for the name of the colony. These central cutout Bitts were ordered to be withdrawn from circulation December 1st, 1823. By order of proclamation issued by Sir Ralph Woodford September 14, 1814 the cut dollars were to continue to circulate by tale at 9 Shillings until ordered to pass by weight. The cut dollars and the previous cut minors of the proclamation of February 9th, 1804 were never officially withdrawn. Some of the cut dollar continued to circulate as late as 1860 at a rate of 3 Shillings 9 Pence (90 Cents). Ex: Ray Byrne Collection (Jess Peters 6/1975) Lot # 1178."

Swirling cartwheel luster lights up subtle multi-hued toning on both sides, with more colorful toning at the edges framing the devices. Frosty and incredibly eye appealing, this example will stand out in a collection of 20th century crowns."
