This specimen was lot 22599 in Stack's Bowers 2018 NYINC sale (New York, January 2018), where it sold for $1,080. The catalog description[1] noted, "[[France|FRANCE]]. 20 Francs, 1874-A. NGC MS-66. An alluring coin with deep luster." This specimen is a common date of a series struck 1871-98. This type revives the type struck 1848-49 during the Second Republic. All 86 million were struck at the Paris mint. Most dates are readily available; only the 1888-A is rare. This type is commonly called an "angel" by American dealers but the French name "Génie" is more accurate, as the figure is the Genius of France inscribing the Constitution. It was officially withdrawn from circulation in 1928 and demonetized in 2005 but ceased to circulate after World War One.

''Recorded mintage'': 1,284,554[2] (a common date).

''Specification'': 6.45 g, .900 fine gold, 21 mm diameter, edge lettered DIEU PROTEGE LA FRANCE, after a design by Augustin Dupré.

''Catalog reference'': Fr-592; KM-825; Gad-1063, F.533/2.
