Napoleon 2 Francs 1808/7-A MS67 NGC, Paris mint, c.f. KM684.1. An outstanding specimen from start to finish, with olive-gray surfaces that are accented by iridescent hues of magenta and gold that weave themselves beautifully through Napoleon's hair. As the grade confirms, the impeccably styled devices rise to full completion and a robust amount of luster awakens the fields upon rotation. This issue was struck for only two years--and the bold 8 over 7 striking is clear even to the unaided eye. Conditionally rare and visually incomparable, this is currently the finest and only certified of this overdate.
Estimate: 3000-4000 USD
