1882-1886 Monaco Gold 100 Francs Charles III Avg Circ
This impressive gold coin, minted between 1882 and 1886, offers a fascinating glimpse into the late nineteenth-century Mediterranean principality. Struck at the historic Paris Mint in France, the piece contains 0.9330 troy ounces of pure gold. Its physical condition is classified as average circulated, showing the gentle wear of a coin that once moved through the hands of merchants and citizens. The obverse features a profile portrait of Prince Charles III looking toward the left. The design captures the likeness of the sovereign who oversaw a transformative era for Monaco. Surrounding the portrait are inscriptions that identify the ruler of the principality. On the reverse, the official coat of arms of Monaco takes center stage. This detailed heraldic display is accompanied by the denomination of one hundred francs, written as Cent Francs, alongside the year of issue. This combination of royal portraiture and national heraldry makes the coin a compelling subject for anyone interested in European monetary design.
