Description

Republic 5 Francs 1871-A MS64 NGC, Paris mint, KM820.1. Honeybee and anchor privy marks. A more challenging privy mark and date combination, adding an additional layer of desirability to this near-Gem Hercules issue. Visually interesting, with the lower lying fields dressed in a notably mint bloom, while the entirety of the flan is dappled in a mocha toning.
