France Napoleon III gold Proof Essai 25 Francs (5 Dollars) 1867

France
Napoleon III gold Proof Essai 25 Francs (5 Dollars) 1867 PR63 NGC, Paris mint, KM-E29, Maz-1745. By Barre. A bold representative of this elusive type struck for presentation at the first of several international monetary conferences, this instance held at the Paris Exhibition of 1867, with the hopes of establishing a multi-national monetary union and the adoption of a single gold standard, resulting in this Francs/Dollars as well as a Francs/Florins denomination. Wonderfully choice and possibly worthy of an unassigned cameo designation, the offering is most certainly deserving of placement in a high-end cabinet.
