This specimen was lot 74673 in Stack's Bowers Collectors Choice sale (Costa Mesa, CA, September 2025), where it sold for $168. The catalog description[1] noted, "[[France|FRANCE]].

''Recorded mintage'': unknown but scarce.

''Specification'': 3.13 g, copper, 20 mm diameter, plain edge.

''Catalog reference'': Dr/4 № 175, KM-86.4; Gad-11.
