This specimen was lot 34159 in Stack's Bowers NYINC sale (New York, January 2025), where it sold for $3,360. The catalog description[1] noted, "FRANCE. Empire. Franc, Year 12-B (1803/4). Rouen Mint. Napoleon I. PCGS MS-63. The finer of just two observed for the date and mint in the PCGS census, this Choice minor delights with some pastel iridescence and displays a pleasingly frosted portrait of the emperor. From the Richard Margolis Collection (acquired from Maison Platt [Michel Kampmann] in Paris on 10 February 1987 for $245)." This issue, from the Rouen mint, is a rare issue of a type struck AN 12-14. A complete set of this type comprises 39 date and mintmark combinations, some very rare. During An 12, Napoleon promoted himself from First Consul to Emperor, causing a design change in the coinage. In 1806 the French revolutionary calendar was dropped and normal AD dating resumed.
Recorded mintage: 30,068[2]. Rouen did not strike any francs of the Premier Consul type.
Specification: 23 mm diameter, 5 grams, 0.900 fine silver, reeded edge. Designed by Pierre Joseph Tiolier, 1763-1819.
Catalog reference: KM-656.2; Gad-443; F.201/2.
