This specimen was lot 2864 in Sincona sale 83 (Zurich, May 2023), where it sold for 800 CHF (about US$1,071 including buyer's fees). The catalog description<sup>[1]</sup> noted, "FRANKREICH, 5. Republik, seit 1959. 20 Euro 2004, Paris. ''60. Jahrestag der Landung der alliierten Truppen in der Normandie am 6. Juni 1944. 15.64 g Feingold. Selten. Nur 2'000 Exemplare geprägt. Polierte Platte. Im Originaletui mit Zertifikat'' ([[France]], Fifth Republic, since 1959, twenty euro of 2004, Paris mint, sixtieth anniversary of the Normandy landings. Rare. Only 2,000 pieces struck, Choice Proof, In original box with certificate)." The treaty which established the euro in 1999 gave specifications for the one cent thru two euro coins which are legal tender throughout the European Union. Higher denominations are not legal tender and each country is free to issue commemoratives as it sees fit, a right the Paris mint has ruthlessly exploited. This half ounce gold coin honors the sixtieth anniversary of the Normandy landings. Many twenty euro NCLT's exist for 2004, including [[France 2004 20 euro KM-1365|KM 1365]], 1370 (shown here), [[France 2004 20 euro KM-1376|KM 1376]], 1379, 1381, 1383, 1385, 1388, [[France 2004 20 euro KM-1393|KM 1393]], [[France 2004 20 euro KM-2011|KM 2011]], 2015 and 2016.
