These coins were struck in exceptional circumstances, at a time when the Paris mint was unavailable, which makes the \"without legend\" variant a numismatic witness to a moment of political upheaval. The mintage of 1,256,000 coins remains modest for the denomination.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hugo Taittinger Numismatics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57600848888139,"sku":"A615.4","price":1281.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0976\/0345\/3259\/files\/A615.4.png?v=1781687673","url":"https:\/\/taittingernumismatics.com\/en-na\/products\/france-third-republic-2-francs-ceres-1871-bordeaux-without-legend-pcgs-ms64-top-pop","provider":"Hugo Taittinger Numismatics","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
