This specimen was lot 3519 in Sincona sale 51 (Zurich, October 2018), where it sold for 700 CHF (about US$844 including buyer's fees). The catalog description<sup>[1]</sup> noted, <blockquote>"''Frankreich, I. Kaiserreich. Napoleon I. 1804-1815. 1 Franc 1812 BB, Strasbourg. Selten. Nur 5571 Exemplare geprägt. Fast sehr schön.'' ([[France]], first empire, Napoleon I, 1804-15, one franc of 1812, Strasbourg mint. Rare. Only 5571 pieces struck. About very fine.)"</blockquote> This issue, from the Strasbourg mint, is a rare date of a type struck 1809-14. ''Le Franc''<sup>[2]</sup> states that only two are known to exist. In 1806 the French revolutionary calendar was dropped and normal AD dating resumed. This type is the last and probably the most available Napoleonic franc. It was demonetized in 1869.

Sincona sale 51, lot 3519

This specimen was lot 3519 in Sincona sale 51 (Zürich, October 2018), where it sold for 700 CHF (about US$844 including buyer's fees). The catalog description[1] noted,

"Frankreich, I. Kaiserreich. Napoleon I. 1804-1815. 1 Franc 1812 BB, Strasbourg. Selten. Nur 5571 Exemplare geprägt. Fast sehr schön. (France, first empire, Napoleon I, 1804-15, one franc of 1812, Strasbourg mint. Rare. Only 5571 pieces struck. About very fine.)"

This issue, from the Strasbourg mint, is a rare date of a type struck 1809-14. Le Franc[2] states that only two are known to exist. In 1806 the French revolutionary calendar was dropped and normal AD dating resumed. This type is the last and probably the most available Napoleonic franc. It was demonetized in 1869.

Recorded mintage: 5,565.

Specification: 5 g, 0.900 fine silver, reeded edge, 23 mm diameter, this specimen 4.79 g. Designed by Pierre Joseph Tiolier (1763-1819).

Catalog reference: Gadoury 447, KM 692.3, F.205/43.
