This specimen was lot 1066 in Jean Elsen sale 138 (Brussels, September 2018), where it did not sell. The catalog description[1] noted,
"FRANCE, Napoléon Ier (1804-1814), AR 1 franc, 1812I, Limoges. Belle patine. presque Superbe. (empire of France, Napoleon I, 1804-14, silver franc of 1812, Limoges mint. Nice patina, about extremely fine.)"
This issue, from the Limoges mint, is a better date of a type struck 1809-14. In 1806 the French revolutionary calendar was dropped and normal AD dating resumed. This type is the last and probably the most available Napoleonic franc. It was demonetized in 1869. A complete set of this type comprises 74 date and mintmark combinations, many very rare. This date is priced[2] about 2¼ times the common date (1811A).
Specification: 23 mm diameter, 5 grams, .900 fine silver, edge lettered DIEU PROTEGE LA FRANCE. Designed by Pierre Joseph Tiolier, 1763-1819.
Recorded Mintage: 90,873[2].
