20 Franc Gold Rooster | Paris France, Third Republic

Description

Discover the allure of the 20 Gold Francs, famously known as Napoleon coins. These exquisite pieces contain .1867 Troy oz of actual gold, crafted in .900 fine gold by the renowned Paris mint. The obverse showcases the iconic ‘Lady Peace,’ while the reverse proudly displays the inscription ‘Liberté Égalité Fraternité’ surrounded by a decorative wreath, symbolizing French heritage. In brilliant uncirculated (BU) condition, this coin not only offers historical significance but also a beautiful investment in precious metals backed by the government of France.

The Marianne gold rooster was issued in 1899 until 1914. Following the second World War, re-strikes of the Marianne rooster were issued using dates from 1907 and onward. All 20 gold Francs are struck in just under 1/5th of an ounce of gold (.1867-oz)  in 22-kt gold.
