This specimen was lot 1413 in Sincona sale 11 (Zurich, May 2013), where it sold for 450 CHF (about US$557 including buyer's fees). The catalog description<sup>[1]</sup> noted, <blockquote>"''FRANKREICH I. Kaiserreich. Napoleon I. 1804-1815. 1 Franc 1812, Utrecht. Selten. Min. Rdf. Fast vorzüglich-vorzüglich.'' (empire of [[France]], Napoleon I, 1804-15, one franc of 1812, Utrecht mint. Rare, minor rim bumps, extremely fine.)"</blockquote> This issue, from the Utrecht mint, is a rare date of a type struck 1809-14. 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. A complete set of this type comprises 74 date and mintmark combinations, many very rare. This date is priced<sup>[2]</sup> about six times the common date (1811A).

from Sincona sale 11, lot 1413

This specimen was lot 1413 in Sincona sale 11 (Zürich, May 2013), where it sold for 450 CHF (about US$557 including buyer's fees). The catalog description[1] noted,

"FRANKREICH I. Kaiserreich. Napoleon I. 1804-1815. 1 Franc 1812, Utrecht. Selten. Min. Rdf. Fast vorzüglich-vorzüglich. (empire of France, Napoleon I, 1804-15, one franc of 1812, Utrecht mint. Rare, minor rim bumps, extremely fine.)"

This issue, from the Utrecht mint, is a rare date of a type struck 1809-14. 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. A complete set of this type comprises 74 date and mintmark combinations, many very rare. This date is priced[2] about six times the common date (1811A).

Recorded mintage: 12,191.

Specification: 23 mm diameter, 5 grams, 0.900 fine silver, edge lettered DIEU PROTEGE LA FRANCE. Designed by Pierre Joseph Tiolier, 1763-1819, this specimen 5.02 g.

Catalog reference: F.205/55, Gadoury 447, KM 163.16, Sch-169.
