Striked over French coin Napoleon III. Paris mint.
Very unusual, this rare mule was produced at the Paris mint with an obverse die of a Napoleon III 5 Francs and then the obverse was apparently silver-plated. The strike is excellent as with nearly all Paris mint emissions of this period and the obverse at least is somewhat prooflike, although there is a fair amount of chatter in the fields of both sides.
Highly unusual and clearly quite rare.
Estimated value: USD 1500
