The first specimen was lot 393 in Classical Numismatic Group's sale of the Lissner Collection (Chicago, August 2014), where it sold for $786.50. The catalog description[2] noted, "FRANCE, Royal (Restored). Louis Philippe. 1830-1848. AR 2 Francs. Paris mint; différents: anchor and star. Nicolas-Pierre Tiolier, engraver general. Jean-Pierre Collot, director. Dated 1833 A. In NGC encapsulation graded MS 64. Very lustrous frosted choice brilliant uncirculated. Blast white with just a touch of toning. Purchased from A. H. Baldwin & Sons, September 1966." The second specimen was lot 1795 in Jean Elsen sale 134 (Brussels, September 2017), where it did not sell. The catalog description[3] noted,
"FRANCE, Louis-Philippe (1830-1848), AR 2 francs, 1833A, Paris. Légers coups sur la tranche. Belle patine. presque Fleur de Coin. (kingdom of France, Louis Philippe, 1830-48, silver two francs of 1833, Paris mint. Minor rim nicks, nice patina, about Uncirculated.)"
Many issues of this type are known from a handful (<10) of examples. The type is not difficult to find but is expensive in high grade. All two francs issued prior to 1859, including this one, were demonetized in 1869 to make way for the succeeding issue which was only .835 fine.
Recorded mintage: 193,819 (a common date)[1].
Specification: 27 mm diameter, 10 grams, .900 fine silver. Designed by Joseph François Domard, 1792-1858; the first specimen Ø26 mm, 10.02 g, 6h axis.
Catalog reference: Gad-520; KM 743.1, F.260/17.
