France. Napoléon III. 5 Francs 1869-BB avec gravure satirique (Sedan 1870)
5 franc shield Napoleon III from 1869 Strasbourg workshop with the particularity of having a satirical engraving of a hussar headdress from the war of 1870. This engraving dates from the period when the emperor will be mocked for his defeat against Prussia, many means will be good to mock him including modifications to the coinage in force at that time in particular coins with his effigy re-struck or engraved more or less skillfully for the satire.
This example is rare because most often the engravings show spiked helmets or minimal modifications. The subject on this shield is interesting and unusual.
Fast and careful shipping.
