Zara. French Occupation Siege 9 Francs 20 Centimes 1813 MS63 NGC, KM2, Dav-48. Coined by the French during the Napoleonic wars as part of the siege of the coastal city of Zara by Austrian troops in 1813. The surfaces display an enticing cabinet tone, creating a fitting impression of age for such a historical issue as this, the central stamps displaying obvious glimmering luster and enhancing the visual appeal of the boldly outlined eagle (obverse) and denomination (reverse). This is the finest example of the type we have seen to-date, and notably also the finest certified by NGC, with none others at that service having met the Mint State level of preservation.
