FRANCE. Franc, 1807-A. Paris Mint. Napoleon as Emperor. PCGS MS-63 Gold Shield. KM-681; Gad-445. African head type. The single second finest certified of the type on the PCGS population report, only one finer (MS 64). This highly attractive and heavily sought after one-year type exhibits a bold strike, lustrous surfaces and lovely mottled gray patina with iridescent hues that pop out when tilted in the light. This original looking survivor offers good eye appeal and a state of preservation that seldom appears on the market destined for a fine cabinet of an advanced collector.
