Napoleon on the gold franc:
First Consul to Emperor

20 gold francs (1803–04)
engraved by Pierre-Joseph Tiolier

40 gold francs (1807)
engraved by Jean Pierre Droz

Reason: High quality, high EV, condition, and rarity. Napoléon coins (gold) with the effigy of Napoléon Bonaparte were issued in 20 and 40 franc denominations, from 1802 to 1814, depicting him as either First Consul or later Emperor. Note: The reverse of both coins have a single spot of residue (wax?). On the 20 franc it is above the “R” (inside the wreath). On the 40 franc it is just before the rim at 4 o’clock.
Original: A two-coin set (gold) of French francs illustrating the transition of Napoleon from the position of First Consul to Emperor.
