This specimen was lot 2862 in Sincona sale 83 (Zürich, May 2023), where it sold for 800 CHF (about US$1,071 including buyer's fees). The catalog description[1] noted, "FRANKREICH, 5. Republik, seit 1959. 20 Euro 2004, Paris. Die Säerin - La Semeuse. 15.64 g Feingold. Nur 3'000 Exemplare geprägt. Polierte Platte. Im Originaletui mit Zertifikat (France, Fifth Republic, since 1959, twenty euro of 2004, Paris mint, the Sower. Only 3,000 pieces struck, Choice Proof, In original box with certificate)." The treaty which established the euro in 1999 gave specifications for the one cent thru two euro coins which are legal tender throughout the European Union. Higher denominations are not legal tender and each country is free to issue commemoratives as it sees fit, a right the Paris mint has ruthlessly exploited. This half ounce gold coin honors the appearance of la Semeuse on French coinage. Many twenty euro NCLT's exist for 2004, including KM 1365, KM 1370, 1376 (shown here), 1379, 1381, 1383, 1385, 1388, KM 1393, KM 2011, 2015 and 2016.
