FRANCE. 20 Franc, An 12-A (1803-04). Napoleon I (1801-04). NGC AU-58.
Fr-480; KM-651; Gad-1020. Primier Consul. Bright lemon yellow with virtually no wear. Just enough handling in the proof-like fields to prevent uncirculated status; were the fields frosty the coin would have probably graded full mint state. In any case, a truly exceptional coin with much to admire. Every strand of Napoleon's hair is well defined as are all of the facial features. A coin typically encountered in no better than Extremely Fine, to locate an example at this level is a special occasion. NGC AU-58.
Estimate: $350.00- $500.00
