New reference book! Le Franc Les Essais, Les Archives - Napoléon Ier (1803-1815)

Philippe Théret and Michel Taillard supported by the associations ADF (Friends of the Franc) and ADAN (Friends of Numismatic Authors) have worked to provide collectors and professionals with new tools to approach the fascinating field of French essays of the period 1803 to 1870. That is to say from the creation of the Germinal Franc under Napoleon Bonaparte to the fall of Napoleon III.
The field of essays is wide: coin design contest essays, design trials, splashers, trial strikes, patterns, branch mint trials, political propaganda essay strikes, presentation strikes for dignitaries, proof strikes, restrikes for collectors, Mint Visit strikes (Paris mint and branch mints) etc.

The first part of Le Franc Les Essais, Les Archives - Napoléon Ier (1803-1815) is dedicated to the archives, the second part is dedicated to the census catalog (with price quotes) and finally the third part, the Gallery, with full page photo plates.
