1802-1806 (AN11/AN14) France Gold 40 Francs Avg Circ
Struck at the historic Monnaie de Paris, this gold coin represents a dramatic era of French history. The obverse features the left-facing profile of Napoleon Bonaparte, capturing his likeness during a period of rapid political transformation. On the reverse, the denomination of 40 Francs is framed by a delicate wreath, surrounded by the inscription designating the French Empire. What makes these pieces particularly intriguing is their dating system. Rather than using the standard Gregorian calendar, the years on these coins are calculated from the start of the French Revolution in 1792. Under this revolutionary system, Year AN 11 aligns with 1803, Year AN 12 with 1804, and Year AN 13 with 1805. Each coin contains 0.3734 troy ounces of pure gold, minted with a fineness of 0.900.
