a trial strike - Piefort 10-Franc Coq (rooster), lot 553987, NGC PF60, and even a 5 cent. Anvers à l’N, large module 1814 specimen (lot 550605). According to De Mey/ Poindessault, production of this coin was interrupted after the 180th specimen because of the die breaking! 74 lots of coins in GENI slabs are also divided into the Modern French, colonial and foreign chapters of the December auction. For example, take note of lot 551751, the 20-Franc gold Louis XVIII tête nue (bare head) 1824 Marseille of which only 1983 specimens were made (GENI VF35), lot 551721, a pair of Turin 10-Franc uniface trial strikes, obverse and reverse (GENI SP63 – obverse and SP62 - reverse) and lot 551767, a gold 20-Franc Génie, Troisième République (winged angel, Third Republic), with a torch as a privy mark, 1896 A (GENI MS63). This type with a torch has remained especially rare since its discovery and is missing from many collections. The section devoted to foreign coins will take us to the four corners of the world to discover extensive and diversified coin collecting. We will begin with a vast selection ofAustrian Thalers.Among these large silver modules, appreciated by collectors for their fine engraving and striking portraits, don’t miss a superb specimen of a Ferdinand III double Thaler (lot 552845). Keeping in line with the September 2019 sale, we will also present a small series of Chinese coins, silver dollars and a 20-cent gold trial strike bearing the portrait of Sun Yat-sen, the first president of the Republic of China (lot 553494). We will then take a trip through the Italian Renaissance with three beautiful gold coins including a beautiful ducat for Milan with the bust of Francesco Sforza (lot 550611). It is one of the first gold coins with a modern numismatic portrait. It should then be noted that there are two rare Moroccan trial strikes for Hassan II, types rarely made available for sale (lots 525724, 525726). A lovely series of imperial Russian coins will complete the world tour with silver and gold rubles from the Romanovs, that are more and more in demand. These thematic sets are only a glimpse amidst interesting specimens from other countries that you will discover in the pages at the end of the catalogue.
