Sincona sale 38, lot 1313

This specimen was lot 1313 in Sincona sale 38 (Zurich, May 2017), where it sold for 625 CHF (about US$750 including buyer's fees). The catalog description[2] noted,

"Consulat, 1799-1804 20 Francs AN XI (1802-03) A. Paris . Vorzüglich. Überdurchschnittliche Erhaltung. (French Consulate, 1799-1804, twenty francs of the year XI, Paris mint. Extremely fine, Better than average.)"

This type was struck AN XI-12 only at Paris. The twenty francs of Napoleon are divided into seven types, of which this is the first. It was demonetized in 2005 but ceased to circulate during World War One. A complete set of this type comprises two dates, AN XI-A and AN 12-A. The entire production run totaled about 1,046,000 pieces.
