11 / 292
The portion of the 28th June auction devoted to Modern French coins is presenting a
very rare ensemble of two coin dies, one negative and one positive, of Jacques-Jean
BARRE’s head (lot 384299) - a veritable piece of history! An unusual Louis-Philippe 5
Francs coin, Domard 1st type, with engraved edge, 1831 Toulouse (lot 391154) is also on
offer during this June 2016 auction. Napoleon is of course well represented with, among
others, a “Hundred Days” coin, an 1815 Paris 2 Francs, PCGS AU55 (lot 371913), and
even a 40 Francs gold coin, 1806 Turin (lot 392054), in excellent condition.
The auction will end with a collection of World coins. The auction’s most appealing
foreign coin is definitely the 1890 Carson City PCGS MS62 10 Dollar coin, (lot 383906).
This is a high-quality coin for the Carson City mint, still quite rare even for 10 Dollar
coins.
Two coins which go hand in hand are also being offered - a rare Double Ducat and a
remarkable Saxon Ducat commemorating the Centennial of the Augsburg confession.
Both coins are from Dr. Nordmann’s collection (lots 390461 and 389486).
We should also point out the Italian 20 Lire coin, minted in 1905 with the effigy of
Victor Emmanuel III, PCGS MS61(lot 383893). This is an unusual coin for the Latin
Monetary Union which we’re offering for the very first time.
