This specimen was lot 4289 in Sincona sale 9 (Zürich, October 2012), where it sold for 3000 CHF (about US$3,794 including buyer's fees). The catalog description[1] noted,
"FRANKREICH Directoire, 1795-1799. 5 Francs L`An 6 (1797), Paris. Vorzüglich. (France, Directory, 1795-99, five francs of year 6, Paris mint, extremely fine.)"
This specimen shown was struck at the Bordeaux mint during the Directory (1795-99) and was meant to replace the écu of the ancien régime after the execution of king Louis XVI. The Gregorian calendar was replaced by the revolutionary calendar. Year 6, shown here, comprised September 1797 thru September 1798. This "Hercules" type was struck until year 11 (1802-03) from numerous mints, tho only Paris is known for year 4. Le Franc[2] has reanalyzed the type, assigning it catalog numbers 287 thru 300, depending on the position of the obverse legend ("UNION ET FORCE"), the details of the oak wreath on the reverse and so forth. As each die was hand made, the varieties are as numerous as those of United States bust half dollars or early large cents. Overdates and repunched mintmarks and privy marks are common. The type was produced in the millions and is not rare in low grades but the price ascends rapidly with grade.
Recorded mintage: 1,452,460 (all varieties).
Specification: 25 g, 0.900 fine silver, edge lettered GARANTIE NATIONALE, designed by Augustin Dupré (1748-1833), this specimen 24,65 g.
