Napoleon III silver Proof Essai 5 Francs 1852-A PR64 NGC, Paris mint, Maz-1184, Dav-94, Gad-726. A rare prototype for Napoleon III's silver 5 Franc coinage, struck in Proof format with sharp bordering rims, the edges decorated in sky blue tones that strengthen in intensity to the reverse. The shimmering fields reveal lilac undertones, providing a fitting and matching element of beauty to the crisp devices, rendered to expressive detail. Unlikely to be encountered finer, and the highest certified selection seen by NGC to-date.
