This specimen was lot 43373 in Stack's Bowers ANA sale (Oklahoma City, OK, August 2025), where it sold for $432. The catalog description[1] noted, "FRANCE. Empire. 5 Francs, 1809-I. Limoges Mint. Napoleon I. PCGS Genuine--Cleaned, AU Details. Lightly cleaned and circulated as noted, with some hints of steely gray toning and brilliance remaining. From the Richard Margolis Collection (acquired from Patrick Guillard on 24 June 1996 for $330)." This type succeeded the "REPUBLIQUE FRANCAISE" reverse struck 1807-08.

All silver five francs were officially recalled in 1928 but ceased to circulate after World War I. This coin was legal tender in the United States until 1857 at a value of 93 cents.
