Republic gold Proof Essai 20 Francs 1848 PR65 NGC, Mazard-1257, VG-3030. Pattern dies by P. Marrell. A rare proof pattern in gold with a lovely Liberty design on the obverse and the customary denomination inside wreath motif on the reverse. Several light marks and handling are observed, but have relatively little influence on the eye-appeal.
