COMOROS. 5 Francs, AH 1308-A (1890). Paris Mint. PCGS MS-64 Gold Shield. KM-3; Lec-10. Mintage: 2,050. Offering tremendous appeal, this important crown-sized issue is wonderfully preserved with strong reflective qualities in the fields and eye-catching apricot-colored tone that accents the surfaces.<p><em>Located off the eastern coast of Africa, Comoros today has about 900,000 inhabitants and a workforce that is largely centered in agricultural production. As a member of the Arab League, this tiny archipelago nation holds the curious distinction of being the only country in the Arab world which is located entirely in the Southern Hemisphere.</em>
