| Lot description: France Napoleon III white metal Essai 5 Francs 1853-A MS64 NGC, Paris mint, Maz-1631 (silver). With mintmark of Charles-Louis Dierickx, Mint Master (1845-1860). An undoubtable rarity as the single known example on both the NGC and PCGS census. A silver-gunmetal hue encompasses both faces and is met with a lively champagne toning upon the lower fields. On the cusp of a Gem designation, the legends, motif, and portrait of Napoleon III are soundly struck and retain full details. https://coins.ha.com/itm/france/france-napoleon-iii-white-metal-essai-5-francs-1853-a-ms64-ngc-/a/3114-33487.s?type=DA-DMC-CoinArchives-WorldCoins-3114-01162024 HID02906262019 © 2023 Heritage Auctions | All Rights Reserved |  |
