France
Republic 20 Centimes 1849-A MS65 NGC, Paris mint, KM758.1. A superb example of this first year of issue under the Second Republic, featuring the attractive Liberty head design with wholly-lustrous, titanium-silver surfaces that are nearly pristine. Rare so fine, and with a mintage of just 4,877 pieces, a coin seldom encountered in the marketplace, especially in this gem level of quality.
