Napoleon III gold 100 Francs 1869-BB MS64 NGC, Strasbourg mint, KM802.2, Gad-1136. Mintage: 14,000. The 100 Francs of Napoleon III carry a wide recognition and appeal, with both the bust style and the reverse eagle and shield design being familiar to collectors of the silver 5 Francs in addition to the gold series. Encountering an example so well-preserved as this, however, is not a common occurrence, as most of the larger gold emissions issued during Napoleon's reign show moderate to heavy handling. This specimen is lustrous with a strong die polish presence on both the obverse and reverse and bright surfaces exhibiting only contact confined to subtle wisps of handling, none distracting in hand.
