The gold Franc was introduced during the rule of Napoleon Bonaparte in 1803. With the formation of the Latin Monetary Union, the Franc was chosen as the de facto reserve currency due to its easy convertibility from gold to silver at a ratio of 1-15.5.There were three gold Francs issued throughout this period. The first was the original Napoleon issued in 1803. It was followed by the gold Angel which was issued for just 2 years in 1948 and 1949. It was issued again in 1871 remaining in circulation until 1898 when it was replaced by the Marianne Rooster.The rooster is especially unique for several reasons. The Paris Mint had produced several re-strikes of the Marianne Rooster which is one of the reason they are more common than the earlier lucky gold Angel, and often in much better condition. Coins dated from 1907 to 1914 as well as those from 1951 through 1960 are all restrikes. Roosters dated 1906 and prior years are popular due to their rarity. Re-strikes dated 1907 and onward are also popular for the fact the condition of the coin is often superior. Regardless of year, all gold Roosters are highly sought after for their beauty, sharp details, rich history, not to mention their value. The Marianne gold Rooster is struck in (.1867-oz) of 22-kt gold with 5.8 grams of pure gold . The featured 1912 Marianne gold Rooster is brilliant uncirculated and in excellent condition. Keep in mind these coins were struck over 120 years ago and may contain "bag marks" as they were often carried in canvas bags.. 20 gold Francs are often sold in tubes of 20 and 50 with significant wear. Make no mistake, these are not those coins. At ABS Bullion, we hand select our gold coins choosing the absolute finest quality available. Each coin arrives in a new Direct Fit capsule and housed in an elegant display box.
