FRANCE. Antwerp (Siege). 10 Centimes, 1814. Naval Arsenal (Antwerp) Mint. Louis XVIII (first reign). NGC MS-64 Red Brown.
Gad-193c; KM-7.2. Minted from captured cannons by the French while besieged in Antwerp. A phenomenal survivor of the type, preserved virtually as struck, with significant adjustments left in the planchet (as is typical for the issue), but surfaces that show traces of red around the designs and no signs of handling. Presently the single finest graded of this variety, it being the only example to have received the Red Brown designation at NGC or PCGS.
Estimate: $700 - $1000
