This is always a tough coin to find in gem mint state condition... I had a nice one in my coin show inventory for years and decided to send it to PCGS to see how they grade these coins.

I am not sure if I agree with the grade, but they do take amazing photos.

It is a short set, but with some low mintage strikes from 1926 to 1935. I am contemplating collecting a nice short set of the main strikes for circulation (1908-1922).

I agree it is a beautiful design and that yours is especially attractive.

Much to be said about Art Nouveau and Art Deco influence on coin design.

They're hard to picture, a lot of them do look better in hand from the few I have had before. It is a great design overall

I fully agree. The coin is very beautiful

I was browsing through the coin albums at one of my favourite coin shoppes yesterday and saw this coin.
Actually the piece is not within the focus of my collection, however the great beauty of the composition and the reasonable price made it "irresistible" to me. It really "spoke" to me.
It joins my Angelo Mariani Medal as designed by Roty.
A similar Art Nouveau / Art Deco style
