This specimen was lot 4736 in Goldberg sale 69 (Los Angeles, May, 2012), where it sold for $690. The catalog description [2] noted, "France. 20 Centimes, 1853-A. Small head. Napoleon III. Spectacular sea green-red-yellow toned example. PCGS graded MS-67." This tiny coin, smaller than a half dime, was struck at Paris under the régime of Napoleon III (1852-70).

The catalog[1] notes 16 dates for the type, some very rare.
Recorded mintage: 679,863[1].
