Napoleon gold 20 Francs 1808-W AU55 NGC, Lille mint, KM687.6, Fr-504, Gad-1024. A splendid representative of this singular type that boasts a scant mintage figure of just 8,489 pieces, featuring the laureate head of Napoleon surrounded by russet-tinged coloration and minimally marked fields. Usually encountered in much lower grades and rarely seen finer, this lightly-circulated example is worthy of even the finest French gold cabinets.
From the Bern Collection
Estimate: 1400-1800 USD
