Napoleon III 5 Francs 1870-A MS65 NGC, Paris mint, KM799.1. An exceptionally enchanting and dazzling gem, yielding tremendous eye-appeal through its colorful palette of toning. Hints of cobalt, burgundy, and seafoam green are present around the legends of the obverse, while a golden-orange hue highlights the reverse. A highly elusive piece in this elite grade.
