Republic Specimen 2 Francs 1881-A SP67 NGC, Paris mint, KM817.1, Gad-530A.

As the grade indicates, the surfaces are nearly flawless and the fields are brimming with a tremendous amount of flash. Altogether superb, and in this desired combination of technical perfection and visual beauty, likely among the finest known.
