- FRANCE. Duo of Gilt Bronze Uniface 50 Francs Essais (Patterns) (2 Pieces), 1855-A. Paris Mint. Napoleon III. Both PCGS SPECIMEN-64 Certified. 1) Obverse: ND (1855), with bare head right and retrograde three-line inscription on the back (with evidence of the same inscription fainter at an angle). cf. KM-785 (for obverse type). 2) Reverse: 1855-A, with crowned and mantled coat-of-arms over scepters crossed in saltire, and retrograde four-line inscription on the back. cf. KM-785.1 (for reverse). This fairly RARE pairing presents uniface patterns or trials for the current 50 Francs design. Both are extremely radiant and elegant, with a bright yellow nature to the fronts and a more burnished, darkened amber nature to the backs. Estimate: $3,000 - $5,000.
