closed Belgium 20 Francs 1867 – Léopold II – High Grade Uncirculated – UK 🇬🇧

[DuncanWylieWilson]

AUCTION! 🔨

A stunningly lustrous, mint state example of this popular type gold coin from Belgium.

Adorned with a radiant golden lustre, sharp key details, and void of any distracting bag marks.

Would certainly make a great contender for grading.

Like all 20 Francs of the Latin Monetary Union, this coin is comprised of 6.45 grams of .900 gold. The pure gold content is 5.805 grams.

Start this auction anywhere you wish and bid in sensible increments.

This auction will end at 2000 hours (8 PM) sharp on Friday, 4 August. 

The final highest bid is the winning one. Bid must be stamped 2000 hours (8 PM) at the latest. Bids stamped 2001 hours (8:01 PM) will be invalid.

Fully-insured Royal Mail Special Delivery to mainland UK is included in the final bid price.

N.B. I will not be engaging in semantics regarding seconds and differences of opinion on auction formats. This is my auction and the rules are very clear, so no Karens or Kens please.

Payment via bank transfer to UK business bank account.

Thank you! ⭐️

I would pay anytime at least spot price for this LMU beauty, even Leopold II was a detestable ****.

£286 from me!🤗

 

P.S.: I dunno why the forum's filter censored the word "k.i.n.g".

A very reasonable position to take! 👍🏻

Léopold II really was a nasty b**tard. He did unspeakable things to the people of the Congo.

Alas, such is life and history. 

For those interested in learning more about King Léopold II, I would recommend this Youtube video:

Well said! I imagine you already know but for those that don't; Leopold II was a first cousin of Queen Victoria.

£290!
