This specimen was lot 1412 in Jean Elsen sale 119 (Brussels, December 2013), where it sold for €280 (about US$453 including buyer's fees). The catalog description<sup>[3]</sup> noted, <blockquote>"''FRANCE, Napoléon Ier (1804-1814), AR 5 francs, 1808 A, Paris. Très Beau.'' ([[France]], Napoleon I, 1804-14, silver five francs of 1808, Paris mint, very fine.)"</blockquote> Shown is a Napoleonic five francs struck at the Rouen mint (mint mark "B") in 1807. It is a rather scarce date. The various designs of Napoleonic five francs form eight distinct types of which this is the sixth, struck 1807-08 with a complete set of this type comprising fifteen date and mintmark combinations, some very rare. This date is the commonest date.
