1) Centime - SP65 Red and Brown, KM219
2) 2 Centimes - SP66 Red and Brown, KM220
3) 5 Centimes - SP64 Red and Brown, KM221
4) 10 Centimes - SP65 Red and Brown, KM222
5) 50 Centimes - SP66, KM223
6) Franc - SP66, KM224

Paris mint. An exceptionally scarce Specimen set, and the first of its kind that we have offered. Any one of the included issues would be quite difficult to come by on its own, but a group of denominations spanning from the single Centime to the 2 Francs presents an entirely different degree of rarity. Each coin displays full gem preservation, the copper centimes revealing fiery mint red under light tone, the silver issues highly watery and dressed in seamlessly interwoven metallic color.
