Napoleon "Hundred Days" 5 Francs 1815-B AU58 NGC, Rouen mint, KM704.2, Dav-85, F-307/88. With a substantially smaller mintage than the more frequently encountered Paris-minted "100 Days" 5 Francs, the present offering remains atop this conditionally challenging issue. Showcasing a lavender-tinged charcoal patina accented by silhouettes of cobalt and limited by only the most trivial evidence of handling to Napoleon's fully struck-up laurels. The major grading services confirm this coin's status as the second-finest to date, with a single Mint State specimen above, and will doubtlessly be met with strong bidder enthusiasm.
