Republic 5 Francs 1870-A MS65 NGC, Paris mint, KM819. With motto. An ideal representative of this one-year type that features the beautifully-styled head of Ceres, with graphite coloration that clings to the argent-gray design motifs, readily defining their intricacies. Even without the aid of magnification the fields are resoundingly clear, and a few small ticks on the portrait remain inconspicuous due to the pleasing patination. Visually bold and with a desired technical quality to match.
Estimate: 2000-2500 USD
