Weight: 10.30 gms. By Pierre-Joseph Tiolier. Differing in style slightly from the Tiolier 2 Francs of the "Hundred Days," this obverse trial is, by all accounts, <strong>INCREDIBLY RARE</strong> and may well be <strong>UNIQUE</strong>. Margolis notes that the Ferrari/Brand typescript refers to this piece as lead, but it is definitely silver and includes the referenced Ferrari/Brand catalog slip. As such, a phenomenal opportunity for the advanced collector in the series.<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.<p>Ex: Palace Collections of Egypt [King Farouk] (Sothebys - 3/1954) Lot # 2181 (part of).<p>Ex: Virgil M.
