Rouen, France (?-1858)Comments
Acquired from a long-time aid of the estate of famous financier J.P. Morgan. Clearly, as Morgan himself would have realized and his connection has undoubtedly added to, a set in which the numismatic importance is difficult to overstate. While one or two others perhaps exists individually in gold, the set is very likely unique, and it is undoubtedly so with such a fine presentation case and pedigree. Worthy of the finest numismatic cabinet.
