FRANCE. Kingdom (First Restoration). Silver 5 Francs Essai (Pattern), 1815-A. Paris Mint. Louis XVIII. PCGS SPECIMEN-62.Maz-745 (R3); Gad-612.(a); T&T-2030.b.1 (this coin cited). Plain edge. Weight: 24.83 gms. By Pierre-Joseph Tiolier. An <strong>IMPRESSIVE RARITY</strong> that glistens with tremendous radiance, this Mint State stunner offers richly mirrored fields and a delightful frosted nature upon the devices. As such, the resulting cameo nature no doubt astounds, with some hints of burnished amber further accentuating the legends. Though some scattered hairlines are observed, the glistening eye appeal is not at all lessened by this aspect.<strong>To view all items from the Richard Margolis Collection, click <a href="https://auctions.stacksbowers.com/lots?sort=auction_date_lot_number_asc&search=From+the+Richard+Margolis+Collection.&limit=96&lots_range=upcoming"> here.</a></strong>From the Richard Margolis Collection (acquired from Vinchon in 1984 for $1,527).
