Description:

French Francs are a key part of the “Euro-Gold” market sector which are consistently popular with gold bullion buyers and those who want small gold coins without paying a huge premium over gold value. French 20 Francs come in three different designs made in different time periods. The French Napoleon is the oldest and was made from 1852 to 1870. It was replaced by the Angel which was the French Franc from 1871 to 1898 when it was replaced by the French Rooster design that lasted until 1914. All three are the size of a modern penny, making them a great option for those interested in diversifying their holdings into fractional sizes smaller than an ounce

French Francs offer better pricing than modern fractional gold coins like American Eagles. They’ll match Eagles in performance as gold rises and offer extra potential thanks to their fixed and limited supply.

The observe is illustrated with a bust of France’s national symbol, Marianne, designed by J.C. Chaplain, while the reverse showcases a rendition of “le coq gaulois”, the Gallic Rooster in French, the unofficial symbol of France.
