FRANCE. Silver 5 Francs Essai (Pattern), 1871. Brussels Mint. Henry V The Pretender. PCGS SPECIMEN-63 Gold Shield.
Maz-926; VG-2731. A pleasing, choice example of this fantasy issue struck to recognize Henry of Artois, the Count of Chambord, as the French monarch. The last legitimate descendant in the male line of Louis XV of France (his great-great-grandfather), he was viewed by those who adhered to the traditional dynastic succession of descendants as their pretender from 1844-1883.
Estimate: $1500.00- $2000.00
