1867-A France Silver 2 Francs KM.807.1 - Scarce SEDAN Counterstamp - Fine KM.212.1 917 Weight 7This countermark is a satirization of the defeat of the French army by the Prussians at Sedan, a crucial battle in the 1870 71 Franco Prussian War that became a rallying cry for the French anti monarchists. Napeoleon III gave the order to hoist a white flag at Sedan, formally surrendered to the Prussians the next day, and was sent into exile in Germany. The battle was commemorated by many countermarks, engraved coins and satirical tokens. KM# 807. 1
