LUXEMBOURG. French occupation. 1795-1814. AR 72 Asses – 72 Sols (38mm, 29.29 g, 5h). Struck by Marshal Baron Johann von Bender during the Siege of Luxembourg. Dated 1795. Davenport 1592; KM 20. In NGC encapsulation graded MS 63 WINGS APPROVED. Light to moderate gray patina overall and extremely strong strike. By far the finest example of this type we have seen. Incredibly rare in this grade and the highest graded by NGC. This rare siege piece is seldom offered for sale; Richard waited 40 years to purchase this coin.
