This specimen was lot 32498 in Heritage Sale 3115 (Chicago, May 2024), where it sold for $6,300. The catalog description[1] noted, "France: Napoleon III gold 50 Francs 1868-BB MS64 PCGS, Strasbourg mint. A conditionally fleeting Strasbourg issue that is also quite scarce in an absolute sense due to a mintage production of under 2,000. Heritage has never before offered an example of this coin certified so close to Gem Mint State, and no finer certified examples exist at either PCGS or NGC. From the Kestrel Collection." This type was struck 1862-68 at Paris and Strasbourg, superseding the previous "bare head" fifty francs of Napoleon III. Most specimens trade for a little more than their bullion value.
Recorded mintage: 1,795, a scarce date.
Specification: 16.13 g, 0.900 fine gold, 28 mm diameter, edge lettered DIEU PROTEGE LA FRANCE.
