Gold French Rooster 20 Franc

The Gold French Rooster 20 Franc, last minted in 1915, is a captivating piece of history that remains remarkably affordable despite its collectible nature.

One of the most notable qualities of these coins is their exceptional condition. During the gold standard era, they were often held as bank reserves rather than circulated, preserving their pristine quality over time.

Each Gold French Rooster 20 Franc contains 0.1867 troy ounces of gold, making it an attractive option for investors and collectors alike.

• Obverse Design: The obverse features Cérès, the Roman goddess of agriculture, fertility, and motherhood, symbolizing the Third French Republic. The inscription reads République Française (French Republic).

Availability and Market Appeal

The Gold French Rooster 20 Franc was produced in significant numbers between 1898 and 1914, with over 117 million coins minted.
