France
Napoleon Franc 1808-A MS63 NGC, Paris mint, KM682.1. Tinged with slightly champagne hues and relatively problem-free surfaces, this early Napoleonic issue acts as a wonderful exemplar of this new denomination first struck under the new emperor (though technically introduced with the decimalized system in 1795) and capturing the Revolutionary ideal of de-regalizing French coinage. While some heavy adjustment marks can be seen below the denomination and just obscuring N in FRANC, this beauty nonetheless remains as majestic and magisterial as the monarch whose visage it bears.
