This specimen was lot 31588 in Heritage sale 3049 (Long Beach, September 2016), where it sold for $646.25. The catalog description<sup>[1]</sup> noted, "Helvetic Republic 20 Batzen 1798-S MS61 NGC. With Point variety. Choice for the type with typical central softness and some wispy handing that defines the grade, but no discernable wear, ample remaining luster and attractive copper-gold toning highlights on both sides. From the Redwood Collection, Part II." The Helvetian Republic was a puppet state set up by the French in 1798 on the remnants of the old Swiss Confederation. Napoleon annexed it outright in 1803.
