FRANCE. 20 Francs, 1812-A. Paris Mint. Napoleon I. PCGS MS-65 Gold Shield.
KM-695.1; Gad-1025. Tied for second finest certified with only six other examples on the PCGS population report, only one finer (MS-66+). A tough to locate type in this high state of preservation exhibiting bold frosty and intricate devices, smooth satiny surfaces and cartwheel luster that pops out when rotating in the light. This beautifully persevered survivor offers a pleasing appearance displaying lovely pale gold coloration in the open areas while the peripheries exhibit a dusky orange tone adding to its eye appeal. An outstanding representative of the type that is sure to catch the attention of quality conscious collectors.

Estimate: $4000 - $6000
