Gad-745a; KM-820.1. Third Republic. Hercules. Honeybee and anchor privy marks. EXTREMELY RARE. The finest of only two examples seen at NGC and PCGS.

The effigies are razor sharp as are the denticles and other devices, clearly delineating the coin as a proof striking. A highly desirable rarity that will interest crown collectors and specialists in French numismatics alike. NGC PROOF-66.
