Description

Napoleon III gold Specimen Essai 25 Francs (5 Dollars) 1867 SP63 PCGS, Paris mint, KM-E29, Maz-1745 (R4). By Barre. Boldly reflective, with die-polish lines that confirm the Specimen striking and vibrant surfaces that are aglow with magenta hues. As one might expect, the designs across both sides have benefitted from a superior strike, rendering Napoleon III's bust and reverse text in raised fashion. Absolutely intriguing and a model representation of this dual-denominated pattern from the "Essai Monetaire" series that was produced as part of the international currency test and performed at the monetary conference in Paris in 1867.

Metal: Gold
Diameter: 29mm
