<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Eduard, post: 2578695, member: 8959&quot;][USER=4298]@Cucumbor[/USER], you have a very nice selection of Napoleonic and related coinage!</p><p>I don&#039;t know were to start, but I find that Sol aux Balances very, very nice. </p><p>It is one of my favorite revolutionary era designs.</p><p><br /></p><p>This is a coin that is very difficult to find in good condition, specially with the legend on the tablet so well defined. I know because I have never been able to purchase one like yours. Your description of it says &#039;refrappe&#039;. Is it later (re)-strike?</p><p><br /></p><p>Your demi-franc is also very interesting. I seem to recall that two varieties of it exist:<font size="4"> a la </font>joue ronde et a la joue mince? (thin and thick cheeks). Your example seems to be a thick cheek type?&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p>I had never paused to think about the contradiction expressed on the legends on the coin, as you well point out: the Emperor of a Republic...</p><p><br /></p><p>A very nice selection of the coin of Napoleon&#039;s Time. Thank you for posting, and please go ahead and post any more you have.&nbsp; Maybe a 5 Franc Hercule, or an Ecu de 6 Livres de la Convention?&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; [/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
