Napoleon III gold 100 Francs 1864-A MS63 NGC, Paris mint, KM802.1, Fr-580, Gad-1136. Mintage: 5,536. A wholly admirable representative of this conditionally challenging issue, which was struck in a mintage limited to just over 5,500 in total. Accordingly, choice examples such as this represent a relatively small portion of the surviving population. Flashy mint brilliance decorates the entirety of the open expanses, Napoleon's bust and the reverse shield clearly struck such that even the smallest details remain boldly expressed and projecting toward the viewer with resounding clarity.
