FRANCE. 2 Francs, AN 12 (1803/4)-A. Paris Mint. Napoleon (as First Consul). PCGS MS-61 Gold Shield.
KM 657.1; Gad-494. While understated upon first glance, this Mint State piece has sharply brilliant, borderline prooflike fields that shine through its iridescent pewter toning. Absent much fuss on the surfaces and very pleasing when illuminated, it is exceptional for the grade. The present coin is listed as second finest in the PCGS population report, though many collectors would jump at the opportunity to acquire a far inferior example due to the issue's rarity.
Estimate: $2000 - $2500
