Curious Coins.

Numismatists, or ,cOin.c Electors,
have interesting objects Of search In
two coins which belong to the tran.
sition period between the French Re.
public and the second empire. One
OF these is an extremely rare coin
which was struck of Just ut the mo.
nent OF the assumption Of the reins
Of empire by Napoleon Ill. Only the
die for the diverse Or head Of new
imperial coin had been completed.
and by some accident, or possibly BY
m schievous design, q coin was struck
OF which bore the head Of Napoleon

French Republic on the other. This

Louis Napoleon was Prince. President,
and just before he made himself EN-.

dve-SfUnc silver piece to- DO coined,
bsssing his image. The dies were
made and one coin Was struck of a

wear at that time. but which he
thought unsuitable to 70 dignided
and permanent Q representation Of
himself a. an eiiigy on o coin. The
Prince. President sent for the director
Of the mint and ordered him to re-.
move the love.lock. Then no found
that his silence with regard to the
piece had been taken for approval,
aud that the stamping OF the coins
had begun. The work was immedi.
