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.
