Republic gold 100 Francs 1894-A AU Details (Obverse Punch Damage) NGC, Paris mint, KM832, Fr-590, Gad-1137. A series highly collected for its stunning appeal and elegance, the Genius 100 Francs provides numerous dates which are common and easily acquired in high grade. There are a few extremely low mintages, however, which do present some problems in the completion of any date set. This piece is one of those such dates, and is the rarest non-proof-only strike at a scant 143 specimens. Though it does have a light punch mark on the obverse to right of Dupré's signature, the surfaces overall still possess much of their original luster and a light tone. An exceptional opportunity for a collector looking to complete this challenging series or begin with the most difficult at a reduced rate.
Estimate: 6000-8000 USD
