This issue, from the Lyon mint, is a common date of a type struck 1809-15. This type succeeded the "REPUBLIQUE FRANCAISE" reverse struck 1807-08. A complete set of this type comprises 95 date and mintmark combinations, some very rare. The entire production run totaled about 127 million pieces. This specimen was lot 1760 in Jean Elsen sale 134 (Brussels, September 2017), where it did not sell. The catalog description[2] noted,
"FRANCE, Napoléon Ier (1804-1814), AR 5 francs, 1812D, Lyon. Gad-584. Petits coups. Légères traces d'ajustage au revers. Très Beau à Superbe. (empire of France, Napoleon I, 1804-14, silver five francs of 1812, Lyon mint. Minor rim nicks, light adjustment marks on the reverse, very fine to extremely fine.)"
It is priced[1] about 10% more than the common date (1811-A or 1812-A). All silver five francs were officially recalled in 1928 but ceased to circulate after World War I. This coin was legal tender in the United States until 1857 at a value of 93 cents.
Recorded mintage: 2,293,616[1].
Specification: 25 g, 0.900 fine silver, 37 mm diameter, edge lettered DIEU PROTEGE LA FRANCE, designed by Pierre Joseph Tiolier.
