France
Napoleon III gold 50 Francs 1859-BB MS64 NGC, Strasbourg mint, KM785.2. A bright and sharply-struck example exhibiting exceptionally few contact marks, the surfaces sleek and imbued with a misty luster. The reverse appears rather prooflike, the French shield somewhat matte in comparison to the lustrous fields. An altogether superb representative of the type.
