France: , Napoleon gold 20 Francs 1812-A MS66+ PCGS,...
Napoleon gold 20 Francs 1812-A MS66+ PCGS, Paris mint, KM695.1, Gad-1025. While there are numerous examples of this type that have been certified by the major grading agencies, this offering at hand is the sole highest-graded specimen, approached only by two MS66's from NGC. As such, this piece is already imbued with an elevated status of prestige, made even more profound by its intense visual grandeur. The silky-glass, lemon surfaces dance with even the slightest movement and radiantly illuminates the laureate bust of Napoleon. The legends surrounding his bust are toned slightly deeper than the center, creating an effortless gradient of golden hues. Furthermore, the reverse displays a captivating cartwheel luster, enhancing the script and traditional French wreath. We expect this dignified piece to find its way to an advanced cabinet, forever appreciated by an enthusiast of Napoleonic gold.
