France
Napoleon "Hundred Days" 5 Francs 1815-A MS63 NGC, Paris mint, KM704.1, Dav-85. Struck during the volatile "hundred days" between Napoleon's return from exile and the second restoration of King Louis XVIII, decidedly rare in both presentation and type. This piece commands an incredible visual allure, decidedly prooflike surfaces of intense reflectivity with abundant light gold tone; this is the finest of this type we have had the pleasure to offer. The previous finest we have handled, graded MS62 Prooflike, realized $20,000 hammer in our August 2017 sale.
