Republic gold Specimen Piefort Essai 10 Francs 1899 SP65 PCGS, Paris mint, KM-Pn100, Maz-2117 (R3). ESSAI edge. A seldom-seen representative, struck in double-weight, with one of the more covetable gold designs in all of French coinage. Featuring the emblematic rooster and personified liberty as Marianne and rendered in low relief, the slight cameo effect from gentle mirrors within the fields adding a surprising overall depth to the devices. Only a handful of comparable specimens have come to market in recent years, generally with great success, the last of which we handled occurring nearly five years ago.
