KM-C32. Struck in the name of Marie Louise, second wife of Napoleon who reigned as Duchess of Parma from 1814. Produced only as a two-year type, the issue remains popular in part for its historical connections, the example at hand preserving flashy golden fields and detail that remains sharp to the highest points. Note for clients in the European Union: This lot is considered by the European Union to be “investment gold”. We believe that it meets the criteria established in Article 344(1), point (2) of Council Directive 2006/112/EC and thus should be exempt from import VAT regardless of the selling price. Any questions or concerns about VAT should be addressed to your accountant or local tax authority.
