A one off chance to acquire this rare Piedfort struck coin with a beautiful Chestnut patina. These were ultimately made to be struck in gold, some were on small blanks weighing 16.7 grams. This specimen weighs 21.5 grams. It has a few contact marks. In answer to the question, has it been cleaned?. I have no idea. It's possible during its 200 year plus existence. OBV: NAPOLEON EMPEREUR.
