Spain
Barcelona. Joseph (Jose) Napoleon gold 20 Pesetas 1813-Ba AU Details (Mount Removed) NGC, Barcelona mint, KM76. A scarce siege issue struck under Napoleon's older brother as client king of Spain, the design exhibits a lovely red-gold color around the devices that gives a softness and bold appeal to the relatively minimalistic composition. The fields prove bright and a soft lemon-gold, with the scattered marks being fairly light, and the mount removal around 12 o'clock well performed and largely unobtrusive.
