France
Napoleon III gold Proof Franc 1854-A PR64 Cameo NGC, Paris mint, KM779.1 (for type), Maz-1661. An extremely rare type, this is the only example that we have been able to locate that has sold at public auction in at least the last 15 years. French gold proofs from the 19th century have always been popular, and have increasingly become even more so in the last few years. With essentially problem-free surfaces and delicately frosted devices, the eye appeal of this coin is sure to be a major influence on bidders when it ultimately crosses the auction block.
