This specimen was lot 976 in Jean Elsen sale 124 (Brussels, March 2015), where it sold for €150 (about US$187 including buyer's fees). The catalog description[1] noted, <blockquote>"''FRANCE, Consulat (1799-1804), AR 5 francs, an 10 K, Bordeaux. Union et Force. Gad-563a. Coup sur la tranche. presque Très Beau.'' ([[France]], Consulate (1799-1804), silver five francs of the year 10, Bordeaux mint. Rim nick, about very fine.)"</blockquote> This specimen shown was struck at the Bordeaux during the French Consulate (1799-1804) and was meant to replace the écu of the ancien régime after the execution of king Louis XVI. The Gregorian calendar was replaced by the revolutionary calendar. Year 10, shown here, comprised September 1801 thru September 1802. This "Hercules" type was struck until year 11 (1802-03) from numerous mints, tho only Paris is known for year 4. ''Le Franc''[2] has reanalyzed the type, assigning it catalog numbers 287 thru 300, depending on the position of the obverse legend ("UNION ET FORCE"), the details of the oak wreath on the reverse and so forth. As each die was hand made, the varieties are as numerous as those of United States bust half dollars or early large cents. Overdates and repunched mintmarks and privy marks are common. The type was produced in the millions and is not rare in low grades but the price ascends rapidly with grade.

''Recorded mintage'': 60,413[2], a common date.

''Specification'': 25 g, .900 fine silver, edge lettered GARANTIE NATIONALE, designed by Augustin Dupré (1748-1833).

''Catalog reference'': VG 563; KM 639.5, F.287/67 (3 vars.), [[Silver crowns by Davenport number|Dav-81]].
