Jean Elsen sale 158, lot 1743

This specimen was lot 1743 in Jean Elsen sale 158 (Brussels, March 2024), where it sold for €120 (about US$156 including buyer's fees). The catalog description[1] noted,

"FRANCE, Napoléon Ier (1804-1814), AR quart de franc, an 12 I, Limoges. Patine foncée. Très Beau. (empire of France, Napoleon I, 1804-14, silver quarter franc of year 12, Limoges mint. Nice patina, Very Fine.)"

This tiny coin was struck at Limoges under the régime of the French emperor Napoleon. It is a somewhat scarce date of a short-lived type (AN 12-14) that remains scarce today. The date reflects a ten year experiment of using the revolutionary calendar (AN 4-14) which set 1789 as year 1.

Reported Mintage: 31,752 plus 40,897 of the PREMIER CONSUL type (KM 653.4).

Specification: 1.25 g, 0.900 fine silver, 15 mm diameter.

Catalog reference: KM 654.5, F.158/4, Gad. 346.
