Prijsbieding

Head of Napoleon I, left., Denomination within a laurel wreath, date below., Cleaned coin with graffiti to the left of the emperor's head and marks on the obverse border at 6h and 12h. This is a superb portrait of the Emperor with a beautiful patina. One of the finest examples known! The 40 Francs gold coins with the legend and portrait of Napoleon I as Emperor succeeded the Consulat coins, where he was presented by his family name and his position as First Consul. Until then, they featured a date from the revolutionary calendar. Our coin and those with this type of legend and date were issued only in Paris, Lille and Turin, and only for two years, 1804 and 1805 (Years 13 and 14). They followed the decree issued directly after his accession to the title of Emperor. Coins issued in the following years then featured a Gregorian date rather than a revolutionary date., NAPOLEON EMPEREUR·, REPUBLIQUE FRANÇAISE. / ·AN 13·
