Rare,
High Quality Gold … Reasonably Priced
In
the 1880s, Leopold II, King of Belgium sent Henry Morton
Stanley to find Dr. Livingston ("Dr. Livingston, I
presume") and explore the interior of the Congo. Even
though King Leopold reigned for 44 years (1865-1909), he
issued only a single gold coin in the 1880s - 20 Franc coins
in 1882. These coins are the last year of issue of this
type and are also the lowest mintage issued from 1867-1882).
These 20
Franc gold coins contain 6.45 gm. of 900 fine gold, more than
a U.S. $3 gold piece (5 gm. of 900 fine gold). We are pleased
to offer a small group of Belgium 1882 20 Franc coins in exceptional
quality at remarkably low prices.
These
1882 Belgium gold coins, in exceptional Brilliant Uncirculated

pleased to offer another small group of European gold coins
in Choice Brillaint Uncirculated quality. Issued by Denmark
at the turn of the previous century (1900). These are often
referred to as the "Little Mermaid" type because they
depict a seated young girl with a fish on her left, reminiscent
of the famous story by Hans Christian Anderson, when a young
mermaid's grand-mother says "When you have reached your
fifteenth year you will have permission to rise up out of the
sea, to sit on the rocks in the moonlight."
These 10
Kr gold coins contain 4.48 gm. of 900 fine gold, more than a
