FRANCE. 40 Franc, AN 14 (1805)-A. NGC EF-40.
Fr-481; KM-664.1; Gad-1081. Bareheaded Napoleon issue with the oxymoronic legends "EMPEREUR" and "REPUBLIQUE" both on the same coin. Struck in 1805 at the zenith of Napoleon's conquests, the year culminating with the Battle of Austerlitz, a victory for the French on a mind-boggling scale. A coin with some real history attached to it, and quite nice for the grade. NGC EF-40.
Estimate: $450.00- $550.00
