The first specimen was lot 547 in Stacks-Bowers NYINC sale (New York, January 2015), where it sold for $12,278.75. The catalog description[2] noted, "FRANCE. 20 Franc, 1814-A. PCGS MS-66. A sharply struck superb gem with frosty mint luster and exquisite eye appeal. This coin hammered at $6,250 in our August, 2011 ANA auction." This type was struck 1809-14 with 14.2 million from all mints, making it the most common French gold coin prior to the 1850's. After the year 14, the revolutionary calendar was dropped in favor of the traditional Gregorian calendar. The twenty francs of Napoleon are divided into seven types, of which this is the last. It was demonetized in 2005 but ceased to circulate during World War One. A complete set of this type comprises 42 date and mintmark combinations.
Specification: 21 mm diameter, 6.45 grams, 0.900 fine gold, edge lettered DIEU PROTEGE LA FRANCE. Designed by Jean-Pierre Droz (1746-1823) and Pierre Joseph Tiolier (1763-1819).
Recorded Mintage: 327,237[1].
