France
Republic 5 Francs 1870-A MS66 NGC, Paris mint, KM819, Gad-743. Ceres head, with motto. An marvelous representative of this post-Imperial 1870 issue whose clarity of strike and watery surfaces lends an appearance that is essentially that of a Specimen example. Outside of such a designation the type and date is unlikely to be found with better eye appeal. Truly excellent!
From the Cape Coral Collection of French Ecus and 5 Francs
