0.4667 troy oz .900 Average Circulated

Struck in 0.900 fine gold, this French 50 Francs coin represents a classic era of European coinage. Produced between 1878 and 1904, the series is notably limited, with a total mintage of just 26,975 pieces. Each coin contains 0.4667 troy ounces of gold, offering a substantial and tangible connection to late nineteenth and early twentieth-century monetary history. The obverse of the coin displays a beautifully detailed angel, a celebrated design created by Augustin Dupré. On the reverse, the coin's denomination of 50 Francs and the specific year of issue are framed elegantly within a traditional laurel wreath. Surrounding this central design is the famous French national motto, "Liberté, égalité, fraternité," which translates to liberty, equality, and fraternity.
