Description

French 20 Franc gold coins have gained immense popularity all around the globe. These exquisite coins, with a size comparable to that of a penny, are meticulously crafted from the finest 22-kt gold, weighing just a shade less than 1/5th of an ounce (.1867-oz). Enthusiasts can indulge in the sheer beauty of the French 20 Francs collection, which offers three captivating variations: Napoleons, Angels, and Roosters. French Francs have a vital part to play in the flourishing “Euro-Gold” market niche, captivating passionate gold bullion enthusiasts and individuals who desire small gold coins without having to pay excessive premiums above their true gold value.

Napoleons

French 20 franc gold coins made their debut in 1802, originating from the visionary mind of First Consul Napoleon Bonaparte. Adorned with his powerful visage, these coins swiftly earned the moniker of gold “Napoleons.” While the designs gracefully morphed to mirror the shifting tides of political leadership, the production of these golden treasures endured in France until 1914. Remarkably, their size and gold content remained unwavering over this remarkable 111-year saga, dutifully adhering to the meticulous specifications laid down by Napoleon himself.

Angels

The last time Gold French Angels were struck was in 1898, making their supply naturally fixed and limited. This is in stark contrast to modern bullion coins that are produced in large quantities each year, thereby increasing their profit potential. Many gold owners recognize the importance of having a small portion of “barter-gold” in their possession as a form of emergency currency. In critical situations, coins like the 1/5-oz. French 20 Francs can provide peace of mind and serve as a valuable asset.

Roosters

The French Gold Rooster Coin is an exquisite work of art meticulously crafted in France. It showcases a face value of 20 Franc and contains a precise gold weight of 0.1867 troy ounces, equivalent to approximately 5.8 grams. This remarkable coin, also referred to as “le Coq Gaulois” or the Gallic Rooster, was skillfully minted by the esteemed French Mint. With a limited mintage of 117,448,888, it spans across dates from 1899 to 1914, adding to its allure and historical significance.

What We Buy

California Gold & Silver Exchange will gladly buy your French Gold Francs, and will pay you cash, or check, on the spot.  We are so confident in our buy price, that we recommend you call a few places. You will see that we are the most competitive gold coin buyers in the area.  We can pay such a great price because we also sell the coins at our retail location.  Most gold buyers purchase from the public and sell the coins to wholesalers. If they do not sell to the public, they are likely not the highest-paid buyers. We have had many people drive over an hour or more, to sell their gold coins.  It is worth it for them to drive because of our competitive pricing, especially if they have a large quantity.  Please don’t hesitate to give us a call with any questions you have.  You can call us at 909-985-4653, or send us an email at [email protected]
