This specimen was lot 2023 in Jean Elsen sale 145 (Brussels, September 2020), where it sold for €170 (about US$242 including buyer's fees). The catalog description[1] noted,
"BELGIQUE, Royaume, Léopold II (1865-1909), AR 1 frank, 1887NL. I. WIENER (sic). Rare. presque Superbe. (kingdom of Belgium, Leopold II, 1865-1909, silver franc of 1887, Dutch legends. Rare, about Extremely Fine.)"
This type was struck with French legends and with Dutch legends, the first Belgian franc so produced. The variety with Dutch legends earns a premium. This date comes with several varieties in the engraver's signature.
Reported Mintage: 2,724,000.
Specification: 5 g, 0.835 fine silver.
