France Gold 20 Francs French Rooster (1899-1914) BU
Struck at the historic Paris Mint during a vibrant era spanning from 1899 to 1914, this French 20 Francs coin is a brilliant testament to classic European coin design. Crafted from 0.900 fine gold, each piece contains 0.1867 troy ounces of actual precious metal weight. It survives today in Brilliant Uncirculated condition, preserving the sharp details of its original engraving. The obverse presents a dignified profile of Marianne, the national symbol of the French Republic. This elegant portrait was created by the artist J.C. Chaplain, whose signature is subtly integrated into the design. On the reverse, the energetic Gallic Rooster stands as a proud emblem of French vigilance and heritage, accompanied by the denomination of 20 Francs.
