Napoleon III Proof Double Obverse 10 Centimes 1855 PR65 Red & Brown NGC, cf. Gad-248 (for standard type). No mintmark. An extremely rare Proof strike produced with two obverse dies. Its rarity and numismatic intrigue aside, this piece is remarkably alluring in hand with a strong contrast between the matte brown and blazing red elements of the surfaces, evincing not a hint of wear.
