Maurice Devigne : Well, here, we have a varied selection from these superb gold ones, several in almost mint condition to some extremly rare silver specimens and we ourselves mint a very fine bronze reproduction of the popular 100 franc gold Napoleon III.
Lord Brett Sinclair : Like zis one, ja?
Maurice Devigne : Ah yes, a particularly fine specimen.
Lord Brett Sinclair : Ja, but ve ask ourselves, is it genuine or is it counterfeit?

Maurice Devigne : Zere are indeed, you are quite correct, monsieur.
