The first specimen was lot 12219 in Ponterio sale 177 (Chicago, August 2013), where it sold for $646. The catalog description[3] noted, "FRANCE. 40 Franc, 1812-A. NGC AU-50." The French empire produced large quantities of gold coins, made from metal looted from countries he conquered. However, nearly all of it was produced at Paris, leaving the branch mint issues quite scarce today. This date is common.
Recorded mintage: 681,887[2] (second most common date of all forty francs).
Specification: 12.90 g, 0.900 fine gold, 26 mm diameter, edge lettered DIEU PROTEGE LA FRANCE, designed by Pierre-Joseph Tiolier and Jean-Pierre Droz.
Catalog reference: Fr-505; KM-696.1; Gad-1084, F.541/9.
