This specimen was lot 1812 in Jean Elsen sale 117 (Brussels, June 2013), where it sold for €5,000 (about US$7,884 including buyer's fees). The catalog description[1] noted,
"FRANCE, Napoléon Ier (1804-1814), AR 2 francs, 1807 A, Paris. Tête de nègre. Très Rare. Petits coups. Belle patine. presque Superbe. (France, Napoleon I (1804-14), silver two francs, "Negro head." Very rare, small nicks, nice toning, about extremely fine.)"
This type was struck 1807 only at Paris. The design of the bust was swiftly rejected by the Emperor on his return from campaign and changed to the laureate head (F.177) used 1807-1808. All the silver minors (quarter (F.160), half (F.176), one (F.203) and two francs (shown here)) were affected.
Recorded mintage: 24,076 plus 18,489 laureate head.
Specification: 10 g, 0.900 fine silver, 27 mm diameter, lettered edge, designed by Pierre Joseph Tiolier.
Catalog reference: F.253/1, Gad-499, KM 683.
