This specimen was lot 3095 in Sincona sale 26 (Zürich, October 2015), where it sold for 180 CHF (about US$222 including buyer's fees). The catalog description[1] noted,

"France, I. Kaiserreich. Napoleon I. 1804-1815 5 Francs AN 13 (1804-05). L, Bayonne. Sehr schön. (France, first Empire, Napoleon I, 1804-15, five francs of the year 13, Bayonne mint. Very fine.)"

It was officially withdrawn from circulation in 1928 and demonetized in 2005 but ceased to circulate in France after World War One.
