Napoleon III copper Specimen Essai 5 Francs 1854-A SP64 Red and Brown PCGS, Paris mint, Maz-1394a, Gad-720. An Essai or "Module" issue, the reverse text roughly translating as "Monetary test executed by order of Prince Louis-Napoléon". Certainly one of the finer known examples of this rare type, boasting ample original coppery hues and a distinct lack of the hairlines that often plague these pieces.
