1803 (AN 12M) France France Napoleon Bonaparte Silver “Crown” 5 Franc Premier Consul NGC MS63

NAPOLEON. It’s a name no household needs an introduction of. One of the greatest historic figures in the history of the globe. A man who is to the French who the French are to Moulin Rouge. A man of more than a mere footnote in history.

We won’t get into the many monumental achievements of Napoleon Bonaparte, the shortest man to achieve the tallest achievements in all of Western Europe – but we will talk a bit about just how rare this coin is as a numismatic accomplishment for your collection.

Struck around 1803, it is the same year Napoleon made the Louisiana Purchase deal with the United States. It was also the beginning of the Napoleonic Wars.

This absolute FINEST KNOWN example of this premier Crown Sized Silver French Coin is an extraordinary acquisition for the purveyor of the finest world rarities. There is not a single piece known finer, and the surfaces on this example gleam with originality and exuberance.
