Condition: This coin is graded as Genuine by ICG and is part of the World Coin Treasure Hoard. It retains clear details on both the obverse and reverse, though it exhibits signs of circulation consistent with its age. The surfaces show a natural patina and some minor abrasions. The mint is the Paris Mint, identified by the absence of a mint mark, featuring the cornucopia and wing privy marks of the Chief Engravers. The metal content is copper-nickel.
