This specimen is lot 1393 in Jean Elsen sale 103 (Brussels, December 2009), where it sold for 880 euro. The catalog description[1] noted,
"FRANCE, Troisième République (1871-1940), AV 100 francs, 1899 A, Paris. Petits coups. Superbe" (France, Third Republic (1871-1940), gold 100 francs, 1899-A, Paris mint. Small nicks and marks, Extremely Fine).
This type was struck 1878-1906. In 1907, the edge lettering was changed to read LIBERTE EGALITE FRATERNITE. The mintage of all gold coinage was suspended in 1914. Of the three types of large gold 100 francs, 346,000 were struck of Napoleon III "bare head," 97,000 were struck of Napoleon III "laureate head," and 274,000 were struck of the "génie." Most survivors are bagmarked AU.
Recorded mintage: 10,000 (slightly scarce date).
