Heritage sale 3064, lot 32690
Cuba H3064-32690r.jpg

This specimen was lot 32690 in Heritage sale 3064 (Chicago, April 2018), where it sold for $264. The catalog description[1] noted, "Republic Proof Piefort 'Lady Justice' 10 Pesos 1989 PR66 Ultra Cameo NGC. A scarcely offered issue celebrating the 200th Anniversary of the beginning of the French Revolution. Lovely satin devices contrast superbly with mirrored and delicately hazy fields. Selections from the Isaac Rudman Numismatic Cabinet." We have substituted the piefort (KM P16) for the image of the regular issue (KM 239) as they are identical except for thickness. It is a way of creating and marketing a new variety without having to invest in new dies.

Recorded mintage: 500 + 2,000 proofs + 150 of KM P16.

Specification: 26.72 g, .999 fine silver.

Catalog reference: KM 239 (regular issue), KM-P16 (piefort).
