Although noted on the NGC label as PIEDMONT - SUBALPINE REP. and listed in the Standard Catalog of World Coins as from the Piedmont Republic (1798-99), this coin is actually a product of the Subalpine Republic ("GAULE SUBALPINE") of 1800-02. Both entities were puppet states of Napoleon, who annexed the region to France in 1802.
Estimate: $3500 - $5000
