Commentary
Exemplaire encapsulé présenté dans un écrin vert de la Monnaie de Paris, avec son certificat n°B32. Version Belle Épreuve bien plus rare que la version Brillant Universel (200 exemplaires contre 20.000). C’est seulement la seconde fois que nous proposons un exemplaire à la vente.
Encapsulated example presented in a green case from the Monnaie de Paris, with its certificate n°B32. Proof version much rarer than the Brilliant Uncirculated version (200 examples compared to 20,000). This is only the second time that we have offered a example for sale

Historical background
PIEFORTS
Piedfort is a coin with a thickness greater than normal, generally double, sometimes quadruple. It is struck originally to be a model for the various mints. This tradition has continued even if recent strikes no longer serve the same purpose. Depending on the face values and the vintages, the piedfort can be made in common metal, silver, gold as well as platinum..
