One copy preserved at the Münzkabinett der Staatlichen Museen of Berlin, link to the page of their website showing the photo of the coin: http://www.smb-digital.de/eMuseumPlus?service=ExternalInterface&module=collection&objectId=2378359&viewType=detailView.

 

An old illustration shows the same type of coin with a kind of large circle included in the obverse tilde.

A coin from this mint went on sale well before the 2000s, price obtained: 18.000 francs for a coin in AU. Is this the coin depicted in the illustrations?
