1811-A Gold French 40 Franc - NGC AU53

First Empire – Napoleon as Emperor

French gold from the First Empire of France are VERY difficult to find in decent condition – much less in Almost Uncirculated condition like this one!

Like much early European gold, most of this mintage was melted down through the many wars and economic turmoil that plagued Europe through much of the 19th century.
